Tekelec 1100 As Main Board; T1100 As Diagnostics - Tekelec 1100 Hardware Manual

The front fascia attaches to the front of the Tekelec 1100 AS platform. It is the air
inlet cover and also serves to retain the square and rectangular air filters. The
fascia can be lowered for air filter replacement while the chassis is still mounted
in the frame. Finger guards between the filter and the fan assemblies located
behind it allow removal of the filter while the T1100 AS chassis is in operation.
The air filter is a disposable assembly and one of the field replaceable units
(FRUs). The filter material is held in an aluminum frame for ease of handling.
Recommended replacement interval for the filters is monthly or more frequently
depending on the operating environment.

Tekelec 1100 AS Main Board

The main board has eight PCI card slots and one PCI express slot. PCI cards are
plugged directly into the main board, and the PCI cards bulkhead panels are fixed
to the Rear I/O Panel with screws. Slots one through six support full length
(12.283 inch) PCI cards, slots seven and eight support cards 6.875 inches long, or
less.

T1100 AS Diagnostics

All components that comprise the Tekelec 1100 AS platform are designed for
testability to ensure that operational status can be accurately determined and that
appropriate levels of fault detection and isolation are possible with a minimum of
effort.
The following levels of diagnostics are provided:
1. Power-On Self Test (POST) diagnostics run once at start-up to determine
whether all required devices are installed and functional. POST can also be
run by the Customer Care Center to verify that the Tekelec 1100 AS platform
is operational.
2. Online diagnostics actively monitor the health of a running Tekelec 1100 AS
platform. When online diagnostics encounter a problem, an alarm is raised
and front fascia light-emitting diodes (LEDs) are illuminated to indicate a
problem. Online diagnostics can be run while maintaining in-service
operation of node.
3. Offline diagnostics can be used by the Customer Care Center to detect system
hardware problems that POST cannot detect. Offline diagnostics can also
provide load simulation and stress testing.
Diagnostics enable troubleshooting of installed systems by verifying:
• Operational capability of Field Replaceable Units (FRU).
• Operational status of peripheral system components (such as cables and
connectors) through automated testing initiated by FRU components.
Examples are loop-back and link tests.
