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 Bus (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.
