If the EQPT alarm occurs with a BKUPMEMP alarm, see the “BKUPMEMP” section on page 2-29. The
BKUPMEMP procedure also clears the EQPT alarm.
Caution Always use the supplied electrostatic discharge wristband when working with a powered ONS 1 5327.
Plug the wristband cable into the ESD jack located between the top high-speed and XTC slots.
