Installation and Maintenance Guide
Checking system power and status

After you connect power to the BCM1000, the Power LED on the front of the base unit and

expansion unit lights. Refer to Figure 47. Once the system services have reactivated, the Status

LED turns solid green.

Figure 47 LEDs confirm that BCM1000 is active

Table 28 describes the possible operating states of the LEDs on the front of the BCM1000. The

BCM1000e has both a power and a status LED, which provide the same indicators as for the base

unit.

Note: During system initialization, the system performs diagnostics on the hardware

configuration size and installation. If the power fails, system data remains in memory.
