The alphanumeric display on a D40 normally displays some random(?) number
when the drawer is installed, and you can set it to any value you like.
e.g. Some identifying value, which may be helpful if you have a lot of
drawers. Are you sure this isn't all it is?
I've had some problems with D40 panels displaying erroneous error
conditions. These were fixed either by replacing the flex cable or the
front panel itself.

Subject: SSA 7133-d40 ID light
I noticed the ID light on the front panel of the 7133 enclosure was flashing
amber earlier today and contacted IBM. The display showed a value of 1460.
After reviewing the 7133 guides, I couldn't determine what the 1460 code was
indicating, nor could IBM. From what I could understand from the guide, that
display could be some code value or FAN, WARM, COLD etc. I went through some
initial diag functions (link verification etc) with support and wasn't able
to find anything conclusive. No reports of any problem from errpt -a either.
All lights (front panel for disk drives, back lights for rear drives, power
supplies and the card where the SSA cables connect) all showed green. By the
time we were done with this, I noticed the light was now off! I created a
snap file and sent it to them and their review didn't come up with anything
concrete. Their best guess is possibly a fan spinning slowly or a power
supply problem. They did say a couple of the filesets related to the SSA may
be a bit behind, but nothing significant. Basically we decided to monitor a
bit closer until something more definitive comes up.
