Front panel interface

The front panel on each node has a small display, and five control buttons. This panel provides access to system and node status information, and a means to run certain system configuration and recovery actions.

When to use the front panel

Note: TheSAN Volume Controller 2145-SA2 and 2145-SV2 node and SAN Volume Controller 2145-DH8 do not have a front panel display, navigation, and select buttons. On these systems, use the technician port to access the service assistant interface.

Use the front panel when you are physically next to the system and are unable to access one of the system interfaces.
