Simon,
Thanks for the response. I don't recall when the IBM business partner
that set this machine up did anything specific to that value, but it is
still there so I would assume that was set then. Regarding the light,
support is still pointing to a fan or power supply possible problem. The
trouble is that without any more indication of which of the dual
supplies is flaky, which one do I replace? Or do I get support to
replace both? I'll continue to monitor for awhile and see what happens.
Tom

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.
