RE: Alert led

My issue here is that this light was NOT on when we got the machine preloaded 
from IBM. We are using a direct connect Ops Console, and this light did not 
come on until I put on the latest CUME, including the HM00200 service processor 
update - is that what it's called? I'm getting old!

And I've tried going back and forth between P and T (not A and B). If it is 
IPL'd with B and P, the light is on. If B and T, the light is off, but there 
are 'IPL action required' statuses in the PTFs.

Sorry. but I think this is stupid. Again, this did not happen until putting on 
the most recent service processor PTF. But I do not remember whether it was set 
at P or T from the factory.
