Diagnostic Code Display

ETEPs display self-test codes during boot up, in addition to operational status and error conditions. See the following sections for information about your appliance model.

Status Codes: ET0010A

The ET0010A status LEDs display self-test codes during boot up. After the ET0010A boots, the status LEDs reflect the operational state of the appliance.

When the appliance powers up, the Alarm LED illuminates briefly and the four status LEDs illuminate to verify that they are functioning. As the ET0010A cycles through its self-tests the status LEDs indicate the self-test that is in progress (see Table 28). After the tests execute successfully, the status LEDs turn off.

If the ET0010A fails to boot properly the illuminated status LEDs indicate the number of the last test that completed successfully, and a message describing the failure is displayed on the terminal. In addition, the Alarm light illuminates if any of the first four self-tests fail (status LEDs 1, 2, 1&2, or 3). In the event of a failure, make a note of the status code and of the error message on the console, and then contact Black Box customer support.
