signal is the yellow ALARM LED lit on the front of the chassis.
Failure event that triggers an alarm.
Seriousness of the alarm. The level of severity can be either major (red) or minor (yellow).
Predefined alarm triggered by a physical condition on the switch such as a power supply failure,
excessive component temperature, or media failure.

Chassis alarms indicate a failure on the switch or one of its components. Chassis alarms
are preset and cannot be modified.
System alarms indicate a missing rescue configuration. System alarms are preset and
cannot be modified, although you can configure them to appear automatically in the
