LCD Panel

The LCD panel is available only on the front bezel. The optional front bezel is hot pluggable.

The LCD panel provides system information, status, and error messages to indicate if the system is functioning correctly or requires attention. The LCD panel is used to view the iDRAC IP address of the system.

The status and conditions of the LCD panel are outlined here:

The LCD backlight is white during normal operating conditions.
If there is an issue, the LCD backlight turns amber and displays an error code followed by descriptive text.

If the system is connected to a power source and an error is detected, the LCD turns amber regardless of whether the system is powered on or off.

When the system powers off and there are no errors, the LCD enters the standby mode after five minutes of inactivity. Press any button on the LCD to power it on.
If the LCD panel stops responding, remove the bezel and reinstall it. If the problem persists, see Getting help.
The LCD backlight remains off if LCD messaging is powered off using the iDRAC utility, the LCD panel, or other tools.
