Hello,
The main idea behind this UID indicator is to help you to physically identify a server in your data center (in a rack or in your datacentre even).
When you logon to the iLO remote management port of the ProLiant server, this UID will blink on/off i.e.
The Unit Identification Light (UID): The UID helps you identify and locate a system, especially in high-density rack environments. Additionally, the UID is used to indicate that a critical operation is underway on the host
The following circumstances cause the UID to blink:
Remote Console is currently active.
Upgrade of iLO Firmware is in progress.
The UID continues to blink until the circumstances causing it to blink subside. The UID reverts to the current state when the cause of the blinking is gone.
Turn Unit ID On
Clicking this button sets the current state of the UID On. However, blinking the UID overrides this state until the cause has subsided.
The UID current state can also be toggled by pressing the physical button on the front of your system (or on the back, if supported). The UID is blue when lit.
Turn Unit ID Off
Clicking this button sets the current state of the UID Off. However, blinking the UID overrides this state until the cause has subsided.
The UID current state can also be toggled by pressing the physical button on the front of your system (or on the back, if supported). The UID has no color when it is off.
