Dell PowerEdge R730 Owner's Manual

LCD panel

The LCD panel of your system provides system information, status, and error messages to indicate if the system is functioning correctly or if the system needs attention. For more information about error messages, see the Dell Event and Error Messages Reference Guide at Dell.com/openmanagemanuals >OpenManage software.
  • The LCD backlight turns blue during normal operating conditions.
  • When the system needs attention, the LCD turns amber, and displays an error code followed by descriptive text.
    NOTE: If the system is connected to a power source and an error is detected, the LCD turns amber regardless of whether the system is turned on or off.
  • The LCD backlight is turned off when the system is in standby mode and can be turned on by pressing either the Select, Left, or Right button on the LCD panel.
  • The LCD backlight remains off if LCD messaging is turned off using the iDRAC utility, the LCD panel, or other tools.
