Chapter 9. Rack status beacon
The rack status beacon is placed on top of a rack and cabled to multiple system units inside the rack. The
server firmware illuminates the rack status beacon in response to any detected problems in the status.
This helps you locate the problem more quickly.
This is a customer task. You can perform this task yourself, or contact an service provider to perform the
task for you. The service provider might charge you for this service.
These procedures assume that the system units have been installed into the rack and have been
connected to the power supply. If the system units have not been installed, refer to the installation
instructions for your system unit.
