2. Do you have any field-replaceable units (FRUs) (for example cards, adapters, cables, or devices) that were removed during problem analysis that you want to put back into the system? Note: If the system planar or battery has been replaced and you are loading diagnostics from a server over a network, it might be necessary for the customer to set the network boot information for this system before diagnostics can be loaded.
1. If the system supports slow boot (see Performing a slow boot), do a slow boot on the system. If the system does not support slow boot, do a normal boot. 2. Power on the system. 3. Wait until the AIX operating system login prompt displays or until system activity on the operator panel or display apparently has stopped.

v “Activating or deactivating an identify LED using the Advanced System Management Interface” on page 96 Deactivating a system attention LED or partition LED using the management console You can deactivate a system attention LED or a logical partition LED if you decide that a problem is not a high priority and you decide to repair the problem at a later time. You can do this task from the Hardware Management Console (HMC) or the IBM Systems Director Management Console (SDMC).
v Identify LED for a FRU associated with a specified enclosure If you want to hook up a cable to a specific I/O adapter, you can activate the LED for the adapter, which is a field replaceable unit (FRU), and then physically check to see where you should hook up the cable. This is especially useful when you have several adapters with open ports. To activate or deactivate an identify LED for an enclosure or FRU by using the HMC, follow these steps: In the navigation area, open Systems management.
Activating or deactivating an identify LED using the Advanced System Management Interface You can activate or deactivate an identify LED using the Advanced System Management Interface (ASMI). You can specify the location code of any indicator to view or modify its current state. If you provide the wrong location code, the advanced system manager attempts to go to the next higher level of the location code. The next level is the base-level location code for that field replaceable unit (FRU).
