International Publication No. 2005/006190

  A data center that manages servers stores a large number of servers in a server storage unit. When a failure occurs in a server or when a server update operation occurs, maintenance personnel need to go to the site where the data center is located and directly operate the server. The server is provided with an LED (Light Emitting Diode) device that indicates the state of the server itself. And the technique of turning on the LED of the server from the data center management apparatus is well known as a server related technique. However, in a data center where a large number of server storage units that store a large number of servers are provided, it is very difficult for maintenance personnel to detect the light emission of small LEDs installed in each server.

In addition, as a method for managing fixed assets taking a server as an example, providing a beacon transmission device in each server is also known as a server-related technology. However, when the beacon transmission device is battery-driven, it is necessary to pay attention to the battery capacity being exhausted. Further, when the beacon transmission device is driven by an external power supply (commercial power supply), it is necessary to provide a space dedicated to the external power supply in the data center. As a result, there is a problem that the area occupied by the data center is increased. Furthermore, when a new beacon transmission device is installed for each server device, a value transmitted by the beacon transmission device installed for each server must be set.
