Alarm

All servers feature audible alarms inside the chassis to notify the user of cooling fans and power supply failures.

The server contains both primary and redundant fans and power supplies. A failure of either of these components causes the system to alarm and to automatically switch over to the redundant item. The server will continue operating with the failed component.

You can mute the audible alarm and failure notification from the front of the server, and continue working until you are able to service the failed component.

When a failure occurs, the audible alarm sounds and the red Alarm Mute button on the front of the chassis flashes.

Tip: Lift the clear cover and press the red Alarm Mute button to silence the audible alarm. The button will continue to flash as long as the alarm state still exists.
