Power-Up Verification
Introduction The front panel lights on the different 6500 PLUS cards help you isolate a problem.
These sections describe the light display when the enclosure is powered up.
Normal Sequence The following list describes what you see on the front panel if the power-up
sequence is performed correctly.
• POWER light comes on (processor and I/O cards).
• WATCHDOG light flashes briefly.
• TEST light flashes briefly.
• STATUS light comes on.
• PORT/DATA OUT lights come on and go off in sequence.
• If:
- You have an NSO card, one or more of the MEM (memory) lights come on.
- There is a disk in the drive, the drive light comes on as data is loaded into
the node.
This entire process may take a few minutes if an NSO card is loading data.
When the node passes the internal tests, the STATUS light (processor and I/O cards)
comes on. This indicates that the node is ready to process calls. You may also see
some of the port lights remain on depending on their configuration.
Checking the
Lights If you want to make sure that all the lights are working, press the Lamp Test button
on the processor card. All the lights in the node momentarily come on.
Failed Sequence The following describes what happens if the node does not come up.
Caution
Pressing the RESET button disrupts communication for the entire node.
If the WATCHDOG light on a processor card comes on and remains on, the card is
an auxiliary processor card. This card must be enabled from a control terminal.
Event Result/Description
If the TEST light comes on and remains
on, the node failed one or more of the
diagnostic tests. There is a hardware problem with the
card (processor and I/O cards).
Reboot the node by pressing the RESET
button. This reruns the internal diagnostic tests.
If... Then...
The TEST light
comes on again
and this is the first
time the node is
turned on Contact your Van-
guardMS
representative. Otherwise, check the Status and
Statistics menus.
