Since a portion of the self-test requires battery power, the self-test will not be initiated if the batteries are less than 90% charged. If the Compaq R6000 UPS detects a problem, the red LED will light. If appropriate, the Compaq R6000 UPS will sound an audible alarm.

NOTE: See Chapter 6, “Troubleshooting,” for information on what to do if the self-test detects a problem.

Audible Alarm

The UPS may sound an audible alarm to warn of a problem.

To identify the problem, select Status from the main LCD menu, scroll to Alarms, then select Alarms. The LCD will display “X Alarms” on the top line, where X is equal to the number of alarms. The bottom row will describe the nature of the Compaq R6000 UPS alarm condition.

To view the alarms on the LCD menu, scroll to Active Alarms and press the Enter button. The possible audible alarms and their meanings are discussed in detail in Chapter 6, “Troubleshooting.”
