Activating the indicator light for a part by using the VIOS tools:

You can use Virtual I/O Server (VIOS) tools to activate the indicator light to physically locate a part.
To turn on the indicator light for identifying a part, complete the following steps:
1. Log in as root user.
2. At the command line, type diagmenu and press Enter.
3. From the Function Selection menu, select Task Selection and press Enter.

7. Exit to the command line.

Identifying a part by using the ASMI

Learn how to activate or deactivate amber identify indicator light-emitting diodes (LEDs) by using the
Advanced System Management Interface (ASMI).
You can access the ASMI by using a web browser. For more information, see Accessing the ASMI using a
PC or notebook and web browser(http://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/POWER8/p8hby/
browser.htm).
For IBM Power Systems that contain the POWER8 processor, the identify LEDs can be used to identify or
verify the location of a part that you intend to install, remove, or replace. The identify function (flashing
the amber LED) corresponds to the location code you are going to work with.
You can set the identify LED to flash and to stop flashing by using the ASMI.
Note: You can use the ASMI to turn on and turn off the identify indicators except for the adapters, disk
drives, solid-state drives, and media devices.
