The alarms can warn of an overtemperature condition:
On a component in the card cage
•
• A fan failure in a blower module
An overcurrent condition in a power supply
•
An out-of-tolerance voltage on one of the cards
•
The alarm LEDs are controlled by MBus software, which sets the threshold levels
for triggering the different stages of alarms.
The RP continuously polls the system for temperature, voltage, current, and fan
speed values. If a threshold value is exceeded, the RP sets the appropriate alarm
severity level on the alarm card which lights the corresponding LED, and
energizes the appropriate alarm display relays to activate any external audible or
visual alarms wired to the alarm display. The RP also logs a message about the
threshold violation on the system console.
If one or more of the alarm LEDs is on, check the system console for messages
describing the alarm.
