MTBF Information contains the following information:

Note: The MTBF information is displayed only when the [<MTBF Info>] button is pressed.

Item

Description

Type

Monitoring status of MTBF.

 

Use Threshold: MTBF is calculated at a fault occurrence. The device is

 

stopped when the calculated value is lower than the

 

threshold.

 

Never Restart: Always stops the device at a fault occurrence.

 

Always Restart: Always restarts the device at a fault occurrence.

Threshold

Threshold of MTBF.

Current

Current MTBF value.

Faults

Number of faults

Time of last fault

Time of the last fault.

 

When there is none, “--” is displayed.

Firmware contains the following information:

Item

Description

Version

Version of the firmware (System BIOS)

Additional

Additional information of the firmware (System BIOS)

The version information of the firmware is displayed only when the [<Version>] button is pressed.

The following buttons are displayed for CPU Module:

Item

Description

MTBF Info

Displays MTBF information

Clear

Clears the MTBF information of the CPU module

Up

Starts the CPU module. When you also start the PCI module of the same

 

module, start the PCI module before the CPU module.

Down

Stops the CPU module

Version

Displays the version of the firmware

Update

Updates the firmware (System BIOS)

Switch

Switches the board.

 

Start the IO module and the CPU module of the sopped module

 

respectively and make modules duplex. Then, stop the other module's

 

CPU module and IO module respectively.

 

* Use this function when updating the firmware (BIOS). This function is

 

available for a module which CPU and PCI (IO) modules are stopped.

Harvest

Collects dump.

 

Before clicking this button, select one of the methods of to collect dump:

 

ξ Save memory dump of the stopped module.

 

ξ Harvest memory dump of the current system without stopping it.

 

* Do not start or stop the module while producing a dump.

*(1) The execution of each button may take a few minutes. Wait for a while to update the display and check the module status.

(2)This system performs diagnostics to both CPU module and PCI module on the same board. Execute diagnostics from a PCI module.

(3)These operations cannot be performed while collecting dump or updating firmware. Wait until such processing is finished to perform the operations in the table.
