Turn attention indicators (LEDs) on and off
HP’s nPartition systems provide attention indicators (LEDs) to help you to visually select and
confirm which hardware you want to perform operations on. Attention indicators are amber
(orange) lights.
Table 4-1 lists the meanings for the various attention indicator states. When all components of a
system are functioning and no service operations are occurring, every attention indicator should
be turned off. (HP Superdome cabinet number LCDs remain lit or blinking when cabinet power
is on.)
