Identifying A Part In An Aix System Or Logical Partition; Finding The Location Code For A Part In An Aix System Or Logical Partition; Activating The Indicator Light For A Part By Using Aix Diagnostics - IBM Power Systems 9008-22L Manual

When you are removing a part, first verify whether you are working on the correct part by using the
identify function in the management console or other user interface. When you remove a part by using
the Hardware Management Console (HMC), the identify function is activated and deactivated
automatically at the correct times.
The identify function causes the amber LED to flash. When you turn off the identify function, the LED
returns to the state it was previously. For parts that have a blue service button, the identify function sets
LED information for the service button so that when the button is pressed, the correct LEDs on that part
flash.
Note: Use the enclosure blue Identify LED to identify the enclosure that is being serviced. Then, confirm
and verify the location of the FRU (to be serviced) in the enclosure by checking the active identify
indicator (flashing LED) for the selected FRU. For some FRUs, you might need to remove the service
access cover to be able to see the identify indicators.
