<title>
When to use: Fault vs. Error Log Indicators (Lightpath Mode)</title>
<para>This appendix gives
<emphasis>highly</emphasis> recommended Service Indicator activation models
for typical system issues, when the Lightpath mode is implemented. The
purpose of this appendix is to get consistency across platforms, and to
answer common questions about how to handle specific issues. The reason that
these are recommended rather than required, is due to the range of systems
that are involved, specifically related to the different types of physical
layouts (for example: deskside, blade and blade chassis, rack-mounted and
particularly high end racks).</para>
<para>This appendix does
<emphasis>not</emphasis> change the architectural requirements specified in
other parts of this document, nor the requirement for implementations to
support those requirements. If there are any inconsistencies between this
appendix and the requirements in the rest of this document, the requirements
take precedence over this appendix. It is very important, therefore, that
designers understand the requirements in this architecture, and more
specifically, those in
<xref linkend="dbdoclet.50569347_86824" />.</para>
<para><xref linkend="dbdoclet.50569385_72358" /> gives the recommended models. The
general model, though, is still dictated by the following requirement, copied
here from the <xref linkend="dbdoclet.50569347_86824" />:</para>
