2. Use the fruled command and either the rad command (HP-UX B.11.11) or the olrad command (HP-UX B.11.23 and HP-UX B.11.31) to manage (turn on, off, or blink) the attention indicator for a system hardware component. From the command line you can manage LEDs for the following hardware components: • Cells-Use fruled to blink or turn off a cell attention indicator. - Turn Off: The fruled -f -c# command turns off the attention indicator for the specified cell (-c#). To turn off all cell attention indicators use the fruled -f -C command. - Blink: The fruled -o -c# command blinks the attention indicator for the specified cell (-c#). • I/O Chassis-Use fruled to blink or turn off HP Superdome I/O chassis attention indicators. Specify the I/O chassis using cabinet/bay/chassis notation (#/#/#). - Turn Off: The fruled -f -i#/#/# command turns off the attention indicator for the specified I/O chassis (-i#/#/#). To turn off all I/O chassis attention indicators use the fruled -f -I command. - Blink: The fruled -o -i#/#/# command blinks the attention indicator for the specified I/O chassis (-i#/#/#). • Cabinet Numbers-Use fruled to blink or not-blink (keep lit) the cabinet number LCD for an HP Superdome cabinet. - Not-Blink: The fruled -f -b# command stops blinking (keeps it lit) the cabinet number LCD for the specified cabinet (-b#). - Blink: The fruled -o -b# command blinks the cabinet number LCD for the specified cabinet (-b#). • PCI Card Slots-Managing the attention indicator for a PCI card slot is supported from HP-UX only. Use the rad command (HP-UX B.11.11 only) or olrad command (HP-UX B.11.23 and HP-UX B.11.31) to turn on, off, or blink the attention indicator for a PCI card slot. Specify the PCI slot using cabinet-bay-chassis-slot (#-#-#-#) notation. - Turn Off PCI Card Slot Attention Indicator The HP-UX B.11.11 rad -f off slot command turns off the attention indicator for the specified PCI card slot (slot). The HP-UX B.11.23 and HP-UX B.11.31 olrad -I OFF slot command turns off the attention indicator for the specified PCI card slot (slot). - Blink PCI Card Slot Attention Indicator The HP-UX B.11.11 rad -f attention slot command blinks the attention indicator for the specified PCI card slot (slot). The HP-UX B.11.23 and HP-UX B.11.31 olrad -f ATTN slot command blinks the attention indicator for the specified PCI card slot (slot). - Turn On PCI Card Slot Attention Indicator The HP-UX B.11.11 rad -f on slot command turns on the attention indicator for the specified PCI card slot (slot). The HP-UX B.11.23 and HP-UX B.11.31 olrad command does not support turning on a PCI card slot's attention indicator to a steady-on state. Turning Attention Indicators (LEDs) On and Off 211
