5.3 Alarm Indicator Panel
The alarm indicator panel (see Figure 3-1) uses visual and audio alarm indicators to display
the status of the IP Platform, including the ISA bus expansion chassis and the -48 Vdc power
inverter or user alarm inputs. The alarm indicator panel displays alarms as long as it can
communicate with the alarm control module in the AlphaServer 1000A, or until its backup
batteries become fully discharged.
Refer to Section 3.3.1 for a description of the alarm indicator panel alarms and status
displays. Refer to Section 3.3.1.1 for the procedure for replacing the batteries in the alarm
indicator panel.
