Activating or deactivating identify LED by using the SDMC:
The system provides several LEDs that help identify various components, such as enclosures or field replaceable units (FRUs). For this reason, they are called identify LEDs.
You can activate or deactivate the following types of identify LEDs:
vIdentify LED for an enclosure If you want to add an adapter to a specific drawer (enclosure), you need to know the machine type, model, and serial number (MTMS) of the drawer. To determine whether you have the correct MTMS for the drawer that needs the new adapter, you can activate the LED for a drawer and verify that the MTMS corresponds to the drawer that requires the new adapter.
vIdentify LED for a FRU associated with a specified enclosure If you want to hook up a cable to a specific I/O adapter, you can activate the LED for the adapter which is a field replaceable unit (FRU), and then physically check to see where you should hook up the cable. This is especially useful when you have several adapters with open ports.
To activate or deactivate an identify LED for an enclosure or FRU, follow these steps:
1.On the Resources tab, select the appropriate host or virtual server.
2.Select Actions → Service and Support → Hardware → Identify LED.
3.In the Identify LED, Select Enclosure window, select the system unit or enclosure.
4.To activate or deactivate an identify LED, click either Activate LED or Deactivate LED. The associated LED is either turned on or off.
5.To activate or deactivate an identify LED for a FRU, select a system or enclosure from the table, and then select List FRUs....
6.Select one or more FRUs from the table, and click either Activate LED or Deactivate LED. The associated LED is either turned on or off.
