T1100 As Diagnostics - Tekelec 1100 Hardware Manual

T1100 AS Hardware Feature Information
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.
