Finding The Part Location Code And Led Support Status; Identifying A Part By Using The Operating System Or Vios - IBM Power Systems 9008-22L Manual

If you want to add a part to a specific enclosure or server, you need to know the machine type, model,
and serial number (MTMS) of the enclosure or server. To determine whether you have the correct MTMS
for the enclosure or server that needs the new part, you can activate the LED for an enclosure or server
and verify that the MTMS corresponds to the enclosure or server that requires the new part.
Procedure
1. In the navigation area, click the Resources icon
2. Click the server name for which you want to activate the identify LED.
3. Click System Actions > Attention LED > Identify Attention LED. The Identify Attention LED, Select
Enclosure window is displayed.
4. To activate an identify LED for an enclosure or server, select an enclosure or server and then click
Activate LED. The associated LED is turned on.

Finding the part location code and LED support status

You can use location codes for the server you are working with to find the part location code to identify
the system that requires support.
About this task
To find the location code and to determine if there is an LED to help you identify the system that
requires support, complete the following steps:
Procedure
1. Select the server you are working on to see the location codes:
v 9008-22L, 9009-22A, or 9223-22H locations (http://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/
POWER9/p9ecs/p9ecs_922_loccodes.htm)
v 9009-41A, 9009-42A, or 9223-42H locations (http://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/
POWER9/p9ecs/p9ecs_914_924_loccodes.htm)
2. Record the location code.
3. Refer to the field replaceable unit (FRU) location table, Identify LED column to see if the word Yes
(there is an identify LED) or No (there is not an identify LED) appears.
4. Choose one of the following options:
v If the part has an identify LED, refer to the applicable procedure:
– If your system is at runtime state, see "Identifying a part by using the operating system or
VIOS."
– If your system is at standby power state, see "Identifying a part by using the ASMI" on page 32.
v If the part does not have an identify LED, see Identifying the enclosure or server that contains the
part.
