Major components of the xSeries 236 Type 8841 server
Blue on acomponent indicates touch points, where you can grip the component to
remove it from or install it in the server, open or close alatch, and so on.
Orange on acomponent or an orange label on or near acomponent indicates that
the component can be hot-swapped, which means that if the server and operating
system support hot-swap capability, you can remove or install the component while
the server is running. (Orange can also indicate touch points on hot-swap
components.) See the instructions for removing or installing aspecific hot-swap
component for any additional procedures that you might have to perform before you
remove or install the component.

2Off Power-on password override. Changing the position of this switch bypasses the
power-on password check the next time the server is turned on and starts the
Configuration/Setup Utility program so that you can change or delete the power-on
password. Move the switch back to the default position after the password is
overridden.
Changing the position of this switch does not affect the administrator password
check, if an administrator password is set.
See the User’s Guide on the IBM xSeries Documentation CD for additional
information about the power-on password.
1Off Force power-on. When toggled to On, this switch forces the server to turn on,
overriding the power-on button.
Notes:
1. Before moving any jumpers, turn off the server; then, disconnect all power cords
and external cables. (Review the information in “Safety” on page v, “Installation
guidelines” on page 11, and “Turning off the server” on page 13.)

Use the remind button on the light path diagnostic panel to acknowledge that an
error has occurred without taking further action. When you push the remind button,
the system error LED will flash every 2seconds until the error is fixed. If another
error occurs, the system error LED will then stop flashing and return to asolid on
state.
For more information about light path diagnostics, see the Hardware Maintenance
Manual and Troubleshooting Guide on the IBM xSeries Documentation CD.
The following table lists the light path diagnostics LEDs, the problems that they
indicate, and actions to solve the problems.
