• PCI card slot LEDs
On all HP nPartition-capable systems, each PCI card slot has an attention indicator
that you can use to select the card slot. You can view the attention indicator for a PCI
card slot when accessing the card cage.
On HP Integrity mid-range servers only, you also can view the attention indicator for
each PCI slot beneath the corresponding slot, on the external chassis at the rear of
the server cabinet.
• Cabinet number LCDs
On HP Superdome servers only, each cabinet has a cabinet number LCD that serves
as the attention indicator for the cabinet.
NOTE The cabinet “attention” light on HP’s nPartition capable servers is not user-controllable.
The cabinet attention light automatically turns on when one or more alert level 6 (or
higher) chassis codes has been recorded in the error logs and has not yet been read. This
light automatically turns off when a user enters the management processor chassis logs
or event logs viewer.
Turn hardware attention indicators (LEDs) on or off using the following procedure:
Turning attention indicators (LEDs) on and off [par commands]
From the command line, you can turn attention indicators on or off by using the fruled
command.
You can use the fruled command and specify -o or -f and a cabinet, cell, or I/O chassis:
-o option to blink the LED, -f option to turn off the LED, -b# for a cabinet (where # is
the cabinet number), -c# for a cell (where # is the cell number), -i #/#/# for an I/O
chassis (where #/#/# is the cabinet/bay/chassis).
Step 1. Login to Windows on the Management Station PC.
Step 2. Use the fruled command to manage (turn on, off, or blink) the attention indicator for a
system hardware component.
NOTE You must include the correct remote administration options when issuing par commands
(-h and -g for IPMI over LAN connections; -h and -u for WBEM/WMI connections). For
a complete explanation of these options, refer to the command description in “nPartition
Commands Reference” on page 109.
From the command line you can manage LEDs for the following hardware components:
• Cells—Use fruled to blink or turn off a cell attention indicator.
— Turn Off: The fruled -f -c# command turns off the attention indicator for the
specified cell (-c#). To turn off all cell attention indicators use the fruled -f -C
command.
—Blink: The fruled -o -c# command blinks the attention indicator for the
specified cell (-c#).
• I/O Chassis—Use fruled to blink or turn off HP Superdome I/O chassis attention
indicators.
