Front panel features and indicators

The following table explains the Dell R220 front panel features and indicators.

Item Indicator, button, or connector Icon Description
1 Power-on indicator/power button

ACPI-compliant power button with an integrated green power LED.

Note When powering on the system, the video monitor can take from several seconds to over 2 minutes to display an image, depending on the amount of memory installed in the system.

Note On ACPI-compliant operating systems, turning off the system using the power button causes the system to perform a graceful shutdown before power to the system is turned off.

2 NMI button Recessed non-maskable interrupt (NMI) button used to troubleshoot software and device driver errors; use only if directed to do so by qualified support personnel or by the operating system's documentation.
3 Video connector Connects a monitor to the system.
4 Hard drive activity indicator   Lights up when the hard drive is in use.
5 Diagnostic indicator lights   The four diagnostic indicator lights display error codes during system startup.
6 System status indicator   Lights blue during normal system operation. Lights amber when the system needs attention due to a problem.
7 System identification button The system identification buttons on the front and back panels can be used to locate a particular system within a rack. When one of the buttons is pushed, the system status indicators on the front and back panels light blue until one of the buttons is pushed again.
8 USB connectors (2) Connects USB devices to the system. The ports are USB 2.0-compliant.Up to five USB ports connect USB devices to the system
9 System identification panel   A slide-out panel for system information including the Express Service Tag, embedded NIC MAC address, and iDRAC6 Enterprise card MAC address. Space is provided for an additional label.
10 Optical drive (optional)   One optional slim-line SATA DVD-ROM drive or DVD+/-RW drive, or combination CD-RW/DVD drive (when available).  

Note Alert Logic appliances do not include optical drives

 

Power button LED

The power button controls the system's power, turning the unit on and off. All PowerEdge servers have the Power LED light-pipe integrated in the Power button. The color of the power LED is green. The lighting pattern must be in the form of a standard Power icon.

System status/ID LED

The system status/ID LED, present on non-modular rack-dense and rackable tower PowerEdge servers, has the following states:

  • No light—System is in the off state (S5, or mechanical (no AC power))
  • Blinking Amber—System fault/error condition
  • Steady Blue—Normal operating state (S0)
  • Blinking Blue—System ID engaged

This LED remains powered during non-operational (standby, shutdown) modes to enable system identification.

Back panel features and indicators

Item Indicator, button, or connector Icon Description
1 iDRAC7 Enterprise port (optional)

Dedicated management port for the optional iDRAC7 Enterprise card.

Note The Alert Logic appliance does not ship with an iDRAC7 Enterprise card.

2 VFlash media slot (optional) Supports one vFlash media card; functionality is activated only when iDRAC Enterprise is enabled.
3 PCIe expansion card slot   Connects a PCI Express expansion card.
4 Serial connector Connects a serial device to the system.
5 Video connector Connects a VGA display to the system; One connector on front panel for rack mount.
6 eSATA Connects additional storage devices.
7 USB connectors (5) Connects USB devices to the system. The ports are USB 2.0-compliant.
8 Ethernet connectors (2) Embedded 10/100/1000 NIC connectors; choice of network connectors through the Select Network Adapter family.

Note The left-most onboard NIC is the Alert Logic Management NIC and is indicated by a “MANAGEMENT” label.

9 System status indicator   Lights blue during normal system operation. Lights amber when the system needs attention due to a problem.
10 System identification button The system identification buttons on the front and back panels can be used to locate a particular system within a rack. When one of the buttons is pushed, the system status indicators on the front and back panels light blue until one of the buttons is pushed again.
11 System identification connector   Connects the optional system status indicator assembly through the optional cable management arm.
12 Power supply   250 W power supply.
13 Retention clip   Secures the power cable.

Management port

The Alert Logic appliance rear panel includes an Ethernet management port, framed in red.

NIC for additional network ports (Threat Manager physical appliances only)

This optional NIC, available only for Threat Manager physical appliances, provides up to four additional network monitoring ports. During the onboarding process, Alert Logic requests the number of ports you require for your network. If you require additional network ports, Alert Logic orders and installs the appropriate NIC.

Rails

Your Alert Logic appliance ships with ReadyRails™ in the box. ReadyRails are static rails for toolless mounting in 4-post racks with square or unthreaded round holes or tooled mounting in four-post threaded and two-post racks.The R220 rails must first be attached to the sides of the system and then inserted into the cabinet members installed in the rack.

Power supply specifications

The Alert Logic appliance includes a single 250W power supply, which provides power to the planar, the internal hard drive bays, and one slim optical disk drive bay. Power is soft-switched, allowing power cycling using a switch on the front of the system enclosure or through software control (server management functions). The power system is compatible with industry standards, such as ACPI and Server 2000. The power supply is equipped with automatic input voltage detection.
