Identifying your server
While you are working on a cabinet that contains several slim servers, it can be 
difficult to keep track of which server or servers you are currently working on. 
The System ID indicator is a yellow (front) and blue (back) LED that you can turn 
on to help you locate the correct server. For the System ID indicator to turn on, 
the server does not need to be turned on, but it does need to be plugged in.
To turn on the System ID indicator:
 
1
Press the ID button on the control panel of the server. The yellow (front) 
and blue (back) ID LED indicators turn on. For the location of these LEDs, 
see

To turn off the indicator, press the System ID button.

The baseboard management controller (BMC) performs several system 
management functions such as:
Monitoring server components (FRU) and sensor data records (SDR) (the 
information provided depends on the option selected)
Managing non-volatile storage for the system event log and sensor data 
records
Interfacing with the emergency management port to send alerts and 
interact with remote management systems
Fault resilient booting (the extent depends on the option selected)
