04/13/2023 Contributors

Locate the appliance so that you can perform hardware maintenance or upgrades.

Before you begin

You have determined which appliance requires maintenance.
To help locate the appliance in your data center, turn on the blue identify LED.

Steps

Find the appliance in the data center.
- Look for a lit blue identify LED on the front or rear of the appliance.
  
  The front identify LED is behind the front bezel and might be difficult to see if the bezel is installed.
- Check the tags attached to the front of the appliance for a matching part number to confirm you have found the correct appliance.
Remove the front bezel, if one is installed, to access the front panel controls and indicators.
Turn off the blue identify LED if you used it to locate the appliance.
- Press the identify LED switch on the appliance front panel.
- Use the appliance BMC interface.
