|---|---|
| Front of computer: | |
| Power button | push button |
| Power light | blue light — Blinking blue in sleep state; solid blue for power-on stateamber light — The blinking amber indicates a problem with the system board. A solid amber light when the system does not boot indicates that the system board cannot start initialization. This could be a system board or a power supply problem. |
| Drive activity light | blue light — A blinking blue light indicates the computer is reading data from or writing data to the SATA hard drive or CD/DVD. |
| Back of computer: | |
| 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. |
| Network activity light (on integrated network adapter) | yellow blinking light — A good connection exists between the network and the computer. |
