Assuming that this is a Power5 or above, how do you boot? If this is "by pressing the button" then I wonder if you ever use ASMI. If not, can you tell us how you do, and the model of server.
For ASMI, you point a https browser to an HMC port. You need to set the HMC port IP address first, else it will DHCP poll, which might not be what you want.
You will need to connect with a serial console to the server with it powered off, but power cables in (flashing light on front?) You will need to get the correct cable, but they are available on Ebay etc. if you have the specification. Speed setting is likely to be double the default, i.e 19200 rather than standard 9600.
Press ENTER and you should get a login prompt. Default is admin with the same as the password. I can't remember where to go after this, but it is menu driven.
On the ASMI screen, the account is padmin with password of password I think. It's vaguely like an HMC with what you can do and fairly intuitive.
Does this get you started? I can't get more detail explanation at the moment.
There may also be a command line way from the OS, but I'm not sure.

LED(4) BSD Kernel Interfaces Manual LED(4)
NAME
led -- API for manipulating LED's, lamps and other annunciators
SYNOPSIS
#include <dev/led/led.h>
typedef void led_t(void *priv, int onoff);
struct cdev *
led_create_state(led_t *func, void *priv, char const *name, int state);
struct cdev *
led_create(led_t *func, void *priv, char const *name);
void
led_destroy(struct cdev *);
DESCRIPTION
The led driver provides generic support for handling LEDs, lamps and other annunciators.
The hardware driver must supply a function to turn the annunciator on and off and the device name of the annunciator relative to /dev/led/.
The priv argument is passed back to this on/off function and can be used however the hardware driver sees fit.
The lamp can be controlled by opening and writing ASCII strings to the /dev/led/bla device.
In the following, we will use this special notation to indicate the resulting output of the annunciator:
* The annunciator is on for 1/10th second.
_ The annunciator is off for 1/10th second.
State can be set directly, and since the change happens immediately, it is possible to flash the annunciator with very short periods and syn-
chronize it with program events. It should be noted that there is a non-trivial overhead, so this may not be usable for benchmarking or mea-
suring short intervals.
0 Turn the annunciator off immediately.
1 Turn the annunciator on immediately.
Flashing can be set with a given period. The pattern continues endlessly.
f _*
f1 _*
f2 __**
f3 ___***
...
f9 _________*********
Three high-level commands are available:
d%d Numbers. Each digit is blinked out at 1/10th second, zero as ten pulses. Between digits a one second pause and after the last
digit a two second pause after which the sequence is repeated.
s%s String. This gives full control over the annunciator. Letters 'A' ... 'J' turn the annunciator on for from 1/10th to one full
second. Letters 'a' ... 'j' turn the annunciator off for 1/10th to one full second. Letters 'u' and 'U' turn the annunciator
off and on respectively when the next UTC second starts. Unless terminated with a '.', the sequence is immediately repeated.
m%s Morse.
'.' becomes '_*'
'-' becomes '_***'
' ' becomes '__'
'
' becomes '____'
The sequence is repeated after a one second pause.
FILES

A 'd12' flashes the lamp
