Embodiment Construction

[0026] DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION A master status indicator is disclosed on a bezel mounted to cover the front panel of a server. The master status indicator receives status information from the server management software monitoring the server. During those periods when the overall server management software does not detect a failure or an impending failure in any part of the server, the main status indicator will be illuminated to reflect a normal operating state. If the server management software does detect a failure or an impending failure in a component of the server, the main status indicator will be illuminated to reflect a high alarm state.

[0027] Figure 1a , 1b, and 1c illustrate an embodiment of the present disclosure. Figure 1a A computer system or server 15 is shown in a tower configuration. Figure 1b Shown is a server 15 mounted on a rack. Server 15 may have several components, and each may have one or more status lights. For example, if Figure...

Abstract

Disclosed is a system and method for displaying status information from several devices in a computer system. A primary status indicator is associated with a server or a group of servers. The primary status indicator is communicatively coupled to the server management software that is monitoring the server or server group. During the period that the server management software does not detect a failure or an imminent failure in any component of the server or server group, the primary status indicator will be illuminated to reflect a normal operating status. If the server management software detects a failure or an imminent failure in a component of the server or a server in the server group, the primary status indicator will be illuminated to reflect an alert status.

Description

[0001] Refer to relevant application [0002] This application is related to a U.S. design patent application entitled "Computer System Status Display" by Timothy C. Dearborn and Shawn P. Hoss, filed concurrently herewith and which is hereby incorporated by reference for all purposes. all content. technical field [0003] The present disclosure relates generally to the field of computer systems, and more particularly to a system and method for displaying status information. Background technique [0004] A data center, also known as a server shop, typically includes a network of servers. The network's servers are co-housed in a single location. A data center speeds up computer network processing by combining the power of multiple servers and balances the load by distributing the workload among the servers. Various companies and other organizations are using data centers because these centers are efficient at handling large volumes of storage retrieval and data processing t...
