Reconfiguring the AlphaServer IP Platform

4.5 Alarm Indicator Panel Configuration

The alarm indicator panel provides programmable visual and audible alarm indicators for the AlphaServer IP Platform. The alarm indicator panel consists of a metal frame, graphics panel(s), and alarm indicator module(s). A cable connects the alarm indicator module to the alarm control module that is installed on the AlphaServer 1000A PCI bus.

4.5.1 Removing and Replacing the Alarm Indicator Module

The alarm indicator module is mounted inside the alarm indicator panel.

Perform the following procedure to replace an alarm indicator module:

1.Power down the AlphaServer 1000A system.

2.At the front of the cabinet, remove the four screws that secure the alarm indicator panel frame to the front rails.

3.Disconnect the miniature 26-pin cable(s) from the connector(s) on the rear of the alarm indicator panel(s).

4.If attached, disconnect any cables connected to the dry contact terminal blocks.

5.On the rear of the alarm indicator panel that contains the alarm indicator module to be replaced, remove the two screws that secure the miniature 26-pin connector to the rear cover.

6.Remove the three screws from the top edge and the three screws from the bottom edge of the alarm indicator panel frame that secure the alarm indicator panel rear cover.

7.Remove the alarm indicator panel rear cover.

8.Remove the four screws that secure the alarm indicator module to the alarm indicator panel frame.

To replace the alarm indicator module, reverse steps 1 through 8 of the removal procedure.
