Diag LEDs
When a sensor indicates an error, the corresponding LED is turned on.
See “Understanding the Diag LEDs” on page 212.
In general, auto re-arm is used for sensors. That is, if a sensor threshold
has been exceeded and the error is displayed on the LEDs, once the
sensor drops below the threshold, the sensor is automatically re-armed
so that if its reading rises up above the threshold again, it triggers
another error. Each of these errors is also logged in the SEL.
Firmware Failure Handling
The boot code checks for a valid firmware runtime image and displays a
Diag LED code if it is not valid.
BIOS is Running OK
The HMC detects if the BIOS is running OK and displays a Diag LED
code if the BIOS does not provide a message.
IPMI Platform Event Trap
The firmware sends a platform event as an SNMP trap, using IPMI
Platform Event Trap Specification version 1.0.
