+## NVMe LED management {#nvme_led}
+
+It is possible to use the ledctl(8) utility to control the state of LEDs in systems supporting
+NPEM (Native PCIe Enclosure Management), even when the NVMe devices are controlled by SPDK.
+However, in this case it is necessary to determine the slot device number because the block device
+is unavailable. The [ledctl.sh](https://github.com/spdk/spdk/tree/master/scripts/ledctl.sh) script
+can be used to help with this. It takes the name of the nvme bdev and invokes ledctl with
+appropriate options.
