In my opinion, locate LED serves for chassis(server) identification, not
to determine whether server requires service. But I have to admit I
wouldn't be surprised if some vendors would do such thing.
Anyway, you want to

Tim,
The Chassis Identify LED has a standard IPMI command to set it, but
OEM-specific commands to read it.
The system health/fault LED (if present) is entirely custom and
OEM-specific.
Even if there were a common way to read that health LED, what would that
really accomplish? You would stil
this same way.

Tim,
The ‘system health light’ will be different for each chassis vendor.
Tim,
The 'system health light' will be different for each chassis vendor.
Which chassis vendor is this?
In any case, parsing the IPMI SEL (waiting for IPMI events) is the
surest way to detect faults on an IPMI-capable system. That's the
trigger for the firmware to turn on the system health
