The pop-out panel is new (relatively), so I haven't had to pay too much attention to it yet. That said, it is my understanding that it is a way to see system health check lights without opening the chassis. FWIW, no lights lit on ours either. The big button next to the optical drive is exactly as Erik indicates. It is used to eject the entire optical drive assembly.

Does it work like the PCMCIA eject buttons on laptops ? ie, push it once and it extends, push the (now) extended button and the component releases ?

I have a series of racked HP ProLiant DL360s. There are a couple of thingies toward the front right side I'm having trouble figuring out... 1. There is this cute little panel that one can pop out and look at, and it has a "chart" of system board components. Do the LEDs light only when there is a hardware problem? (Hope so, because on all 5, no LEDs are lighted.) 2. Just to the left of the DVD drive is a relatively large recessed square button. (It is about as high as the DVD drive tray.) Looking through the doc CD, this is "shown" in a few pictures but is never identified. From my description, what is this? Thanks! -- Richard D.
