How to Locate my PowerShelf unit?

Question:

How to Locate my PowerShelf unit?

Scenario:

APC by Schneider Electric recognizes that customers may need a quick and reliable way to physically identify a specific PowerShelf unit within a data center. This can be particularly useful when multiple PowerShelf units are installed across several racks or configured as part of a cascaded PowerShelf system.

Product Line:

SENVPS33KB2, SENVPS33KL-NP, SENVPS33KB3

Resolution:

The PMC indicator light can be used to help physically identify the PowerShelf associated with the PMC being accessed remotely.

This functionality can be controlled through the Redfish API:

Turn the indicator light ON

Method: PATCH
Resource: /redfish/v1/Managers/PMC_0
Action: Indicator light ON

After issuing the command, look for the PMC where the green and yellow LEDs are alternately flashing at 4 Hz. This identifies the physical PowerShelf associated with the PMC being accessed.

Once the correct PowerShelf has been located, the positioning indicator can be turned off.
Turn the Indicator Light OFF
Method: PATCH
Resource: /redfish/v1/Managers/PMC_0
Action: Indicator Light OFF
This feature is particularly useful when working with multiple racks or cascaded PowerShelves, because it provides a visual method of correlating the PMC being accessed remotely with the physical PowerShelf in the data center.
The positioning indicator is only one of the available Redfish functions documented for the PowerShelf. The PowerShelf manual contains additional useful Redfish commands, resources, and syntax for supported management and diagnostic operations.
