Tekelec 1000 Main Board; T1000 As Diagnostics - Tekelec T1000 Hardware Manual

T1000 AS Diagnostics

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 1000 Main Board

The main board has eight PCI card slots. 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.
T1000 AS Diagnostics
All components that comprise the Tekelec 1000 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 Tekelec Customer Care Center to verify that the Tekelec 1000 platform
is operational.
2. Online diagnostics actively monitor the health of a running Tekelec 1000
platform. When online diagnostics encounter a problem, an alarm is raised
and front panel light-emitting diodes (LEDs) are illuminated to indicate a
problem. Online diagnostics can be run while maintaining in-service
operation of node. Individual links undergoing tests will be out-of-service.
3. Offline diagnostics can be used by Tekelec 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 Bit Error Rate Test (BERT) tests.
