the system attention led on the operator panel is turned on when an entry is made in the service processor error log that gets transmitted to the system-level error logs (the aix error log and the service action event log in service focal point). when the attention light comes on, examine these error logs to see if user intervention is required.

    if a hardware problem is indicated, call service support. if no intervention is required, the system attention led can be turned off by either of the following methods:

    1 on the hmc’s graphical interface, as follows:

    1. click on the service applications icon.

    2. double-click the service focal point icon.

    3. in the contents area, select hardware service functions. the led management window opens.

    4. in the led management window, select one of more managed systems from the table.

    5. select deactivate led. the associated system attention led is turned off.
