Identifying the 8335-GCA or 8335-GTA that needs servicing

Use the Intelligent Platform Management Interface (IPMI program to turn on the blue identify LED to
help you find the system that needs servicing.
Procedure

For in-band networks, the chassis identify command is:
ipmitool -I <interface> chassis identify <interval>
Where:
interface
Is the interface you are using to connect to the system; for example usb.
interval
