<h1>Blinking devices</h1>
<p>You can identify the devices in a server or enclosure, such as a physical drive,
  because the light associated with the device you selected is flashing.</p>
<ol>
  <li>Click any object in the <a href="cusegui4.htm">Physical devices view</a> or <a href="cusegui4.htm">Logical devices view</a>,
  <b>except</b> the following: <br>
    <br>
    <img src="images/s_adapt1.gif" width="28" height="20"> (Controller)<br>
    <img src="images/s_cdrom.gif" width="28" height="20"> (CD-ROM drive)<br>
    <img src="images/s_tape.gif" width="28" height="20"> (Tape drive)<br>
    <img src="images/s_remove.gif" width="28" height="20"> (Removable-media drive)<br>
    <br>
  </li>
  <li>Right-click the appropriate <b>Blink</b>.
    <p> The HP Storage Manager sends a command to the firmware (microcode) to start
      flashing one or more physical drive or enclosure lights, depending on the
      following:
    <ul>
      <li>The selected object</li>
      <li>Whether the item and its subsystems are all controlled by an enclosure
        device<br>
      </li>
    </ul>
    <p><b><img src="images/note.gif" width="15" height="17"> Note:</b> Blink
      works only on controllers with a <a href="gsaf-te.htm">SAF-TE</a> processor
      and the appropriate firmware. If a device light or a series of device lights
      do not flash, it is because all or part of the subsystem is not controlled
      by a SAF-TE processor.<br>
    </p>
  </li>
  <li> Click <b>OK</b> to stop the drive lights from flashing.</li>
</ol>
