Diagnostic Lights (Optional)
The four diagnostic indicator lights on the system front panel display error
codes during system startup. Table 1-5 lists the causes and possible corrective
actions associated with these codes. A highlighted circle indicates the light is
on; a non-highlighted circle indicates the light is off.
NOTE:
The diagnostic LEDs are not present when the system is equipped with an
LCD display.
