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.
