Activating And Deactivating Leds; Deactivating A System Attention Led Or Partition Led By Using The Management Console - IBM Power Systems 9008-22L Manual

16. The system hardware is functioning correctly. Return the server to the state that the customer
normally uses, such as IPL type, IPL mode, and the way the system is configured or partitioned.

Activating and deactivating LEDs

You can use these procedures to activate or deactivate light-emitting diodes (LEDs) by using the
management console or the Advanced System Management Interface (ASMI).
About this task
The system attention LED is activated when an error that requires a service action is detected, but a fault
LED is not activated. Such errors can include errors that generate a system reference code (SRC) or a
service request number (SRN). On systems that support fault LEDs, a fault LED is activated for many
problems that can be isolated to a specific hardware component. However, for some problems that
require a service action, a fault LED might not be activated even if a problem can be isolated to a specific
hardware component. For those problems, the system attention LED is activated instead.
For IBM Power Systems servers that contain the POWER9 processor, the LEDs can be used to identify or
verify a part that you are servicing. The error and identify function (amber) LED indicates an error and
corresponds to the location code in the system reference code (SRC). The LED is activated and
deactivated automatically.
Additionally, the following procedures can also be used to activate and deactivate LEDs.

Deactivating a system attention LED or partition LED by using the
management console
You can deactivate a system attention LED or a logical partition LED if you decide that a problem is not
a high priority and you decide to repair the problem later. You can do this task from the Hardware
Management Console (HMC).
About this task
If you want to be alerted if another problem occurs, you must deactivate the system attention LED so
that it can be activated again if another problem occurs.
To deactivate a system attention LED by using the HMC, complete the following steps:
1. In the navigation area, click the Resources icon
2. To view the actions for that server, select the server name of the server.
3. In the navigation area, click System Actions > Attention LED.
4. Click Identify Attention LED. The Identify LED window opens. The selected system and its LED
state are displayed in the upper part of the window. The logical partition and its LED state are
displayed in the lower part of the window. From the Identify LED window, you can deactivate both
the System attention LED and the logical partition LED.
, and then click All Systems.
