Identifying A Part; Identifying The Enclosure Or Server That Contains The Part; Enabling Enclosure Or Server Indicators By Using The Asmi - IBM Power Systems 9008-22L Manual

8. Many parts are sensitive to static electricity. Keep all electronic components inside their shipping
container or envelope until you are ready to install them. If you remove, then re-install an electronic
component, temporarily place that component on an ESD mat.
9. If you encounter difficulties during the installation, contact your service provider, your IBM reseller,
or your next level of support.
10. If you are installing new hardware in a logical partition, you need to understand and plan for the
implications of partitioning your system. For information, see Logical Partitioning.

Identifying a part

Learn how to identify the system or enclosure that contains a failing part, the location code and
light-emitting diode (LED) status for a part, and how to activate and deactivate the identify part LED.
Before you begin
Procedure
v To determine which server or enclosure contains the part, see "Identifying the enclosure or server that
contains the part."
v To find the location of the part and to determine whether the part has an identifying LED, see
"Finding the part location code and LED support status" on page 28.
v Turn on the identifying LED for a part.
– If your system is in the runtime state, see "Identifying a part by using the operating system or
VIOS" on page 28.
– If your system is in the standby power state, see "Identifying a part by using the ASMI" on page 32.
– If you have an HMC, see "Identifying a part by using the HMC" on page 34.
v To turn off an identify LED, see "Deactivating an identify LED" on page 77.
v To turn off a check log indicator, see "Deactivating a check log indicator (system information indicator)
by using the ASMI" on page 79.

Identifying the enclosure or server that contains the part
