Overview

This appendix describes the meaning of the LEDs on the HotWire 8600 DSLAM chassis and MCC card.

HotWire 8600 DSLAM Chassis

The 8600 chassis allows addressable diagnostic connectivity between the MCC and each of the DSL cards. It also converts and distributes ±48V power to the cards in the chassis. In addition, it provides fans to cool the circuit cards.

The following table describes the meaning and states of the LEDs on the front panel of the carrier.

Indicating . . .

 

 

 

DC PWR A

Green

Normal operation for Power Source A.

 

Off

Low, high, or no voltage for Power Source A.

 

 

 

DC PWR B

Green

Normal operation for Power Source B.

 

Off

Low, high, or no voltage for Power Source B.

 

 

 

FAN ALM

Yellow *

Fan failure or a single fan in the Fan Module is working at

 

 

less than 50% of its normal output.

 

Off

Normal operation or no power to mounting.

 

 

 

*A built-in feature shuts off power to the circuit cards if a chassis overheats because of fan failure. If the temperature in the chassis reaches 70° C, power to

the cards in the chassis is turned off automatically. Power is turned on when the temperature drops below 60° C.
