Configuring LEDs to Identify Components on the Chassis

You can enable the LEDs of components (chassis, servers, physical disk drives, virtual disks, and I/O Modules) to blink

so that you can identify the component on the chassis.

NOTE: To modify these settings, you must have the Chassis Configuration Administrator privilege.

Configuring LED Blinking Using CMC Web Interface

To enable blinking for one, multiple, or all component LEDs:

• In the left pane, go to any of the following pages:
