System Health LED (SHLED)
This LED is used:
•
To carry forward the ATTENTION functionality of legacy Integrity and HPE 9000 front panel
designs.
•
To give an indication of whether the system is up or down. External and internal health LEDs
do not indicate if the system is booted.
•
To cover the wide range of faults for which software/firmware is not completely sure that a
FRU must be reseated or replaced. External and internal health LEDs do not light unless
software or firmware makes a solid determination that a FRU must be reseated or replaced.
This LED indicates the overall health state of the system, including the state of system firmware
and the OS. If the LED is Amber or Red, the system needs attention, and the event logs should
be examined for details of the problem.

Locator Switch/LED (Unit Identifier or UID)
The Locator Switch/LED allows a specific system to be identified in a rack or data center
environment. One Locator Switch/LED is located in the front panel, and a second is located in
the rear of the chassis. LEDs are incorporated inside the pushbutton to minimize space. Both
switches are toggle switches, meaning you push it once to turn on the LED, and you push it again
