Alarming Situations and Locating the Problem

LEDs are meant to support installation and maintenance tasks. The most important task is the determination of an alarm situation for a particular Media Module and/or G700.

A RED Alarm LED located on each Media Module and on the LED Panel helps technicians isolate the alarm to a specific piece of equipment. When the RED Alarm LED is lighted on the LED panel, the technician should understand that there is an alarm associated only with the motherboard or chassis.

Note:

The RED Alarm LED on the LED Panel does not indicate any alarms on the Media Module.

In an alarm situation, you may need to remove a Media Module or G700 or take it out of service. The GREEN Test LED and YELLOW active/in-use LED help you determine when the equipment can be removed without interrupting calls.

Special Circumstances when Removing the S8300

When removing the S8300, initiate a shutdown process by first depressing the button (for 2 seconds) located next to the fourth GREEN "Ok-to-Remove" LED (specific to the S8300). This LED will first blink; then go steady. Once steady, this GREEN LED indicates that the disk drive has been parked properly and is ready to be removed.

CAUTION: If you remove the S8300 before the disk is parked, you may corrupt important data.
