Basic Operation

3.3 Basic Operation of the IP Platform Subsystem Components

The following sections describe the basic operation of the IP Platform subsystem components.

3.3.1 Alarm Indicator Panel

The alarm indicator panel (see Figure 3-1) contains the following:

Visual indicators

Audible indicator

Battery backup logic

Keep-alive function

Dry contacts

Visual Indicators

The alarm indicator panel has three alarm LED indicators. These LED indicators are defined as follows:

Critical (red LED)

Major (red LED)

Minor (amber LED)

The LED for a particular level of severity will be lit as long as at least one event of that level is active. Multiple LEDs may be simultaneously lit.

The alarm indicator panel has two other indicators used for status information. These are the following:

Status display

Alarm indicator panel OK LED (green)

The status display is used to output status as a result of the diagnostic testing and to display other status information as shown in the following tables.

The OK LED is lit after a successful reset and will remain lit until either an unsuccessful reset or a loss of battery power occurs.

Refer to the Intelligent Peripheral Fault Manager For Tru64 UNIX Installation and User's Guide for additional information on the alarm indicator panel and fault management.

______________________________ Note ___________________________

The alarm indicator panel should not be permanently removed without de- configuring it in the Intelligent peripheral Fault Manager (IPFM) config file. Refer to the Intelligent Peripheral Fault Manager for Tru64 UNIX Installation and User's Guide.
