-ON<XX> Causes the BMC to indicate the system’s location, for
example, with a blinking LED or beep for a specific
period of time.
XX is an optional hex-ASCII byte representing the
number of seconds the BMC is to cause the system to
identify itself. If XX is not provided, the BMC will
indicate the system’s location only for 15 seconds. This is
a text version of the optional Chassis Identify command.
SYS

-OFF Causes the BMC to stop indicating the system’s
location. This has no effect if the system is not
currently identifying itself. This is a text version of the
optional Chassis Identify command.
