module. Then press the yellow alarm monitoring reset button on the
front panel to reset the monitoring operation. The power load will again
be shared between these two modules.

In order to ensure the safety and efficiency of your expansion
system, it is recommended that you keep a spare power supply
module on hand – just in case. Protect yourself, keep a spare.
Order your spare power supply module from Magma – PN 40-
00022-01.

Replacing a Fan

The expansion system chassis provides three (3) high-volume fans to
keep your PCI cards running smoothly. If a fan fails, the monitor will
display a message in the display window, sound an alarm, update the
web-access-page, and, if you have configured the SNMP monitoring for
email alerts, it will also send you an email advising you of the power
failure.

Unlike the “hot-swappable” redundant
power supply repair, you will have to
shut off power to the expansion
system chassis to replace a failed
fan. Remember to shut down the
host computer first.

First, remove the chassis cover,
and the Surveillance Pro 2 control
panel using the four (4) screws
on the front panel. Next, identify
the fan that needs replacement.
Now, remove the four (4) white
plastic thumb-screws that are
located in each corner of the fan.
Gently remove the fan front grill and the fan itself. Finally, unplug the
fan’s power connector to remove the fan completely from the chassis.

Replace the fan with a new one, PN 26-
00028-01, which is available from Magma.
