As long as the System Event List (SEL) has not been cleared, the warning LEDs will remain activated. This article will describe how to clear the SEL from BMC/IPMI. Note: Not all LED errors can be resolved by clearing the SEL. Refer Additional Information for further steps/investigation that may be required.

This method of gathering data is especially helpful when there is a suspected hardware issue and a node cannot boot into its operating system (whether Element or VMware) or when the operating system cannot be accessed for any other reason.
