Figure 6 Front Panel of the Controller

To indicate operational and alarm status, a green LED (RUN) and red LED (ALM) are located on the front panel of the PoE system controller. When the system has an alarm, such as input failure, input over-voltage or under-voltage, output over-voltage or under-voltage, power supply failure, or power supply self-protection, the red (ALM) LED will light. Once the alarm status is cleared, the LED goes off.

The system controller of the PoE Power Rack has two major functions:
