Remind button
You can use the remind button to put the system-error LED on the operator
information panel into Remind mode. When you press the remind button, you
acknowledge the error but indicate that you will not take immediate action. The
system-error LED flashes while it is in Remind mode.
The system-error LED stays in Remind mode until one of the following conditions
occurs:
v All known errors are corrected.
v The server is restarted.
v A new error occurs (the LED is lit again).

The following table describes the power-supply LEDs and suggested actions to
correct the detected problems.
The following minimum configuration is required for the power-supply dc good LED
to be lit:
v Power supply
v Power backplane
v Power cord
v Microprocessor tray
