Identifying a part by using the ASMI

Learn how to activate or deactivate amber identify indicator light-emitting diodes (LEDs) by using the Advanced System Management Interface (ASMI).

About this task

You can access the ASMI by using a web browser. For more information, see Accessing the ASMI using a PC or notebook and web browser.

For IBM® Power Systems that contain the POWER9™ processor, the identify LEDs can be used to identify or verify the location of a part that you intend to install, remove, or replace. The identify function (flashing the amber LED) corresponds to the location code that you will be using.

You can set the identify LED to flash and to stop flashing by using the ASMI.

Note: You can use the ASMI to turn on and turn off the identify indicators except for the adapters, disk drives, solid-state drives, and media devices.
