General Errors
Liquid Crystal Display
The Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) on the front operator panel
contains a 2-line by 16-character LCD (front panel display) driven by the
80C752 microprocessor. The front panel display receives and transmits ASCII
characters. The LCD supports the upper-and lower-case ASCII character set.
Errors detected by the computer might be displayed on
the LCD and/or on the standard display attached to the computer. This is
helpful when a display is not attached to the computer or the attached
display is inoperative.
LEDs - System Board and Adapter
LED(s) are located on planar, bridge, processor, and memory
card.

I²C (Inter-Integrated Circuit)
The I²C (Inter-Integrated Circuit) bus is a serial
bus that is used in the PC Server 720 to monitor and control several peripheral
functions within the machine. The bus is driven through a VLSI module on
the system board. A service processor on the system board (based on the
Intel 83C552 micro-controller) controls and monitors these functions within
the machine through the I²C bus. These include:
The front panel LCD
The front panel power controls
Detecting the setting of the SCSI ID
jumper on the hot-swap backplanes
Reading the voltage and temperature
sensors on the planar (viewable using NetFinity)
Controlling the three fans mounted behind
the drive bays
