Troubleshooting

Alarm troubleshooting

This UPS is designed for durable, automatic operation and also to alert you whenever potential operating problems might occur. Usually the alarms shown on the control panel do not mean that the output power is affected. Instead, they are preventive alarms intended to alert you of a possible condition.

The following table describes typical alarms and conditions. If an alarm appears with a service code, contact HP technical support ("Support and other resources" on page 58, "HP contact information" on page 58).

To check the Event Log for a list of active alarms:

1.Press the ESC button on the front panel display to activate the menu options.

2.Press the down arrow button until the Event Log menu appears.

3.Press the Enter button to display the list of alarms and conditions.
