Table 1-2. Audible Alarm Critical and Noncritical Events
Critical Events Noncritical Events
Two or more cooling-module blowers have failed or a cooling
module is not installed.
One power supply has failed.
One or more temperature sensors are in the critical range. One cooling module blower has failed or is not
installed.
Split-bus module not installed.
One or more temperature sensors are in the
warning range.
One EMM has failed.
NOTE: It is rare for both EMMs to fail simultaneously. However, if this event occurs, the system cannot issue critical or
noncritical event alarms for any system component. If both power supplies fail simultaneously, the system can issue
critical or noncritical event alarms only if 5-V power is available.
Hard-Drive Carrier LED Indicators
Each of your system's 14 hard-drive carriers have two LED indicators (see Figure 1-2). The first LED is a green busy
indicator, controlled by the hard drive, that is illuminated when the hard drive is active on the SCSI bus. The second LED is a
two-color (green and amber) status indicator.
Table 1-3 lists the status indicator flash patterns.
Table 1-3. Hard-Drive Carrier Indicator Patterns
