Identifying A Part; Identifying A Failing Part In An Aix System Or Logical Partition; Locating A Failing Part In An Aix System Or Logical Partition - Bull ESCALA Power7 M6-705 Manual

Blue or terra-cotta on a part of the hardware indicates a touch point where you can grip the hardware
to remove it from or install it in the system, open or close a latch, and so on. Terra-cotta might also
indicate that the part can be removed and replaced with the system or logical partition power on.
5. Ensure that you have access to a medium flat-blade screwdriver, a Phillips screwdriver, and a pair of
scissors.

Identifying a part

Use these instructions to learn how to identify the location of a failed part, the location of a part to be
removed, or the location to install a new part on your system or expansion unit using the appropriate
method for your system.
About this task
For systems servers that contain the POWER7 processor, the light-emitting diodes (LEDs) can be used to
identify or verify the location of a part that you are removing, servicing, or installing.
The combination identify and fault LED (amber color) shows the location of a field replaceable unit
(FRU). When removing a FRU, first verify whether you are working on the correct FRU by using the
identify function in the management console or other user interface. When removing a FRU under the
direction of the hardware management console, the identify function is activated and deactivated
automatically at the correct times.
The identify function causes the amber LED to blink. 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
blink.
If you need to use the identify function, use the following procedures.
