Table 1-5. NIC Indicator Codes
LCD Status Messages
The system's control panel LCD provides status messages to signify when the system is operating correctly or when the system needs attention.
The LCD lights blue to indicate a normal operating condition, and lights amber to indicate an error condition. The LCD scrolls a message that includes a status
code followed by descriptive text. Table1-6 lists the LCD status messages that can occur and the probable cause for each message. The LCD messages refer
to events recorded in the System Event Log (SEL). For information on the SEL and configuring system management settings, see the systems management
software documentation.
