Front Panel Status LEDs
AMain power LED
(green)
When continuously lit, indicates the presence of DC power in the server. The
LED goes out when the power is turned off or if the power source is
disrupted.
BSystem status (green/
amber)
Indicates system status as follows:
• Steady green indicates system in standby or ready for operation.
• Blinking green indicates degraded operation (e.g., power supply non-
redundancy, part of system memory mapped out by BIOS.
• Blinking amber indicates one or more non-critical fault conditions.

2.5 Ethernet Front Panel (EFP) Board
The Ethernet Front Panel (EFP) board is located in front of the power supplies and extends behind the
fixed SATA hard drives. The SATA drives connect into the EFP board for power and signals. The EFP
board also provides the user interface for the system's front panel and for the SIO (system
management) serial port.
There are three different EFP board configurations that support various functions through use of
component population/depopulation options. The three variations of the EFP are as follows:
• Front panel operations with the two dual-Ethernet controllers depopulated (NSW1U-R
configuration).
• Front panel operation with the two dual-Ethernet controllers populated and accessible via the
front panel bezel (NSW1U-F configuration).
• Front panel operations with the two dual-Ethernet controllers populated, in addition to the added
capability to bypass the on-board Ethernet controllers during a system power failure (NSW1U-B
configuration).
2.5.1 Front Panel Features
The NSW1U Network Server has the following front panel features:
• Four switches to control power-on, reset, NMI, and the system ID LED
• One system ID LED that can be controlled remotely or by the system ID switch
• Two system activity LEDs that indicate power-on and NIC activity
• One hard drive activity LED that indicates fault status for drives 0 and 1
• One system status LED that indicates a system error
• Two fixed SATA hard drives
• Connectors for interfacing to the server board and fans
2.6 Additional Optional Ethernet Functionality
The NSW1U-F and NSW1U-B servers provide four GbE ports that are accessible from the front of the
system when the bezel is installed with a unique EFP board SKU. Four additional GbE NIC ports can be
added to the NSW1U-F and NSW1U-B servers by using a quad GbE NIC PCIe card and cable harness.
The cable harness interconnects the quad GbE NIC card to the additional four GbE NIC ports on the
front face of the chassis. There are no GbE NIC ports accessible from the rear of the NSW1U-F
system.
The NSW1U-R and NSW1U-B servers have four GbE NIC ports mounted on the server board that are
accessible from the rear of the chassis. An additional set of four rear-accessible GbE NIC ports can be
added to the NSW1U-R system by using a quad GbE NIC PCIe card with rear I/O panel access ports.
There are no GbE NIC ports accessible from the front of the NSW1U-R system.
The GbE NIC ports are intended to be installed with shielded cabling that is grounded at both ends of
the cable.
Warning: The intra-building port(s) of the equipment or subassembly is suitable for connection to
intra-building or unexposed wiring or cabling only. The intra-building port(s) of the
equipment or subassembly MUST NOT be metallically connected to interfaces that
connect to the OSP or its wiring. These interfaces are designed for use as intra-building
interfaces only (Type 2 or Type 4 ports as described in GR-1089-CORE, Issue 4) and
require isolation from the exposed OSP cabling. The addition of Primary Protectors is
not sufficient protection in order to connect these interfaces metallically to OSP wiring.
