Controls and Lights
Power button
push button
Power light
green light — Blinking green in sleep state; solid green for power-on state
amber light — Blinking amber indicates a problem with the power supply inside the computer. If the system cannot boot and there is a solid amber light, a problem with the system board may exist (see Power Lights).
Hard drive access light
green
Link integrity light (on integrated network adapter)
green light — A good connection exists between the network and the computer
off (no light) — The computer is not detecting a physical connection to the network.
Activity light (on integrated network adapter)
yellow blinking light
Diagnostic lights
four lights on the front panel (see Diagnostic Lights)
Standby power light
STBYLED on the system board
Power
DC power supply:
Wattage
305 W
Maximum heat dissipation
1040 BTU/hr
Voltage (see the safety instructions located in the Product Information Guide for important voltage setting information)
Manually selectable: 90 to 135 V and 180 to 265 V at 50/60 Hz
Backup battery
3-V CR2032 lithium coin cell
