v Remind button: This button places the system-error LED on the front panel into
Remind mode. In Remind mode, the system-error LED flashes rapidly until the
problem is corrected, the server is restarted, or a new problem occurs.
By placing the system-error LED indicator in Remind mode, you acknowledge
that you are aware of the last failure but will not take immediate action to correct
the problem. The remind function is controlled by the IMM.
v NMI button: Press this button to force a nonmaskable interrupt to the
microprocessor, if you are directed by IBM service and support.
v Reset button: Press this button to reset the server and run the power-on
self-test (POST). You might have to use a pen or the end of a straightened paper
clip to press the button. The reset button is in the lower-right corner of the light
path diagnostics panel.
