Chassis Diagnostics

 

 

 

 

2.Inspect the chassis fan. Is the intake opening clear? Is the fan operating and producing air flow?

„Yes - Continue.

„No - Remove any debris from fan intake and exhaust if necessary. If the condition remains, continue.

3.Consider the ambient air temperature near the switch and clearance around the switch. Make necessary corrections. If the condition remains, contact your authorized maintenance provider.

5.2.2

Input Power LED Is Extinguished

The Input Power LED illuminates to indicate that the switch logic circuitry is receiving proper voltages. If the Input Power LED is extinguished, do the following:

1.Inspect the power cords and connectors. Is the cord unplugged? Is the cord or connector damaged?

„Yes - Make necessary corrections or repairs. If the condition remains, continue.

„No - Continue.

2.Inspect the AC power source. Is the power source delivering the proper voltage?

„Yes - Continue

„No - Make necessary repairs. If the condition remains, contact your authorized maintenance provider.

5.2.3

Fan Fail LED is Illuminated

The Fan Fail LED illuminates to indicate a malfunction with the chassis fan. If the Fan Fail LED illuminates, isolate the switch from the fabric, unplug the switch from the AC power source, and contact your authorized maintenance provider.
