The Identify Function
The identify function can be accessed from any of the service aids.
This function enables you to determine the location of a particular disk drive module
that you want to identify but do not want to remove from the system unit. The iden-
tify function causes the check light of the disk drive module to flash for identification
(1 second on, 1 second off), but has no effect on the normal operation of the disk
drive module. You can use the identify function on any number of disk drive
modules at the same time.
Instructions displayed by the service aids tell you when you can select the identify
function.
Note: You cannot use the identify function on a device that is in reserved status.
