The LEDs on the light path panel indicate the status of the following devices:

򐂰 LP: Light Path panel power indicator

򐂰 S BRD: System board LED (might indicate trouble with processor or MEM)

򐂰 MGMT: Flexible Support Processor (or management card) LED

򐂰 D BRD: Drive (or DASD) board LED

򐂰 DRV 1: Drive 1 LED (SSD 1 or HDD 1)

򐂰 DRV 2: Drive 2 LED (SSD 2 or HDD 2)

򐂰 ETE: Sidecar connector LED (not present on the IBM Flex System p460 Compute Node)

If problems occur, the light path diagnostics LEDs assist in identifying the subsystem

involved. To illuminate the LEDs with the compute node removed, press the power button on

the front panel. Pressing the button temporarily illuminates the LEDs of the troubled

subsystem to direct troubleshooting efforts.

You usually obtain this information from the IBM Flex System Manager or Chassis

Management Module before removing the node. However, having the LEDs helps with repairs

and troubleshooting if on-site assistance is needed.

For more information about the front panel and LEDs, see the IBM Flex System p260 and

p460 Compute Node Installation and Service Guide available at:

5.5.4 Chassis support

The p460 can be used only in the IBM Flex System Enterprise Chassis. They do not fit in the

previous IBM modular systems, such as IBM iDataPlex or IBM BladeCenter.

There is no onboard video capability in the Power Systems compute nodes. The systems are

accessed by using SOL or the IBM Flex System Manager.
