It was lit when I booted up the server after changing my monitor. I might have hit it. Thank you.<BR /><BR />Aaron Sat, 21 Aug 2004 09:30:23 GMT https://community.hpe.com/t5/proliant-servers-ml-dl-sl/proliant-uid-light/m-p/4857996#M112963 Aaron Fadeley 2004-08-21T09:30:23Z https://community.hpe.com/t5/proliant-servers-ml-dl-sl/proliant-uid-light/m-p/4857997#M112964 The UID LED is used to identify a server; if the server has a remote insight board/chip the UID LED will blink when the server is being accessed remotely. It can also be turned on remotely via IM/System management home page so that the server can be identified locally.<BR /><BR />I hope this helps<BR /> Sat, 21 Aug 2004 09:38:49 GMT https://community.hpe.com/t5/proliant-servers-ml-dl-sl/proliant-uid-light/m-p/4857997#M112964 Vijay_44 2004-08-21T09:38:49Z https://community.hpe.com/t5/proliant-servers-ml-dl-sl/proliant-uid-light/m-p/4857998#M112965 Arron:<BR /><BR />The UID also has the function of identifying a server when it is deployed in a dense rack with many other servers.

So I guess since I have only one server and I am the only one that works on it, it is just a pretty blue light?<BR /><BR />Aaron Sat, 21 Aug 2004 11:13:44 GMT https://community.hpe.com/t5/proliant-servers-ml-dl-sl/proliant-uid-light/m-p/4857999#M112966 Aaron Fadeley 2004-08-21T11:13:44Z https://community.hpe.com/t5/proliant-servers-ml-dl-sl/proliant-uid-light/m-p/4858000#M112967 Yes... pretty blue light. But, please note it does have hooks and hangers in the bios and can be reported in the Management Logs as being on. Best to have it off.
