If problems occur, you can use the light path diagnostics LEDs to identify the
subsystem involved. To illuminate the LEDs with the compute node removed,
press the power button on the front panel. This action temporarily illuminates the
LEDs of the troubled subsystem to direct troubleshooting efforts towards
a resolution.
Typically, an administrator has already obtained this information from the IBM
Flex System Manager or Chassis Management Module before removing the
node, but having the LEDs helps with repairs and troubleshooting if on-site
assistance is needed.
For more information about the front panel and LEDs, see the IBM Flex System
p260 and p460 Compute Node Installation and Service Guide, available from:

4.2.2 Labeling
IBM Flex System offers several options for labeling your server inventory to track
your machines. It is important to not put stickers on the front of the server across
the bezel’s grating, as this action inhibits proper airflow to the machine.
We provide the following labeling features:
򐂰 Vital Product Data (VPD) sticker
On the front bezel of the server is a vital product data sticker that lists the
following information about the machine, as shown in Figure 4-6:
– Machine type
