2.4.3 Serviceability
Serviceability represents the ease of recovery from a system failure. To facilitate
recovery from a failure, after detecting the failure the system administrator and/or
field engineer must do the following:
■ Determine its cause
■ Isolate the faulty component for replacement
The midrange server can provide high serviceability with the following features:
■ Status LEDs mounted on the main components and the operator panel to display
which active components need replacement
■ XSCF firmware to remotely recognize the device operating status and remote
device maintenance
■ LED blinking function to indicate the maintenance target (CHECK-LED, which is
also called the locator LED)
■ Notes and cautions marked on various label types are provided for the system
administrators and field engineers
■ Automatic notification to report different types of faults to the system
administrator and field engineers
■ Centralized systematic monitoring, such as with SNMP
