9C214-3 Power Supply Operation

System Diagnostic Controller
The System Diagnostic Controller is composed of a Z-80 microprocessor and its
supporting logic. The System Diagnostic Controller monitors the power supply’s
input and output power parameters as well as the temperature and fan status. In
addition, the System Diagnostic Controller adjusts fan speed and controls the
LANVIEW diagnostic LEDs. The information gathered by the System Diagnostic
Controller is available to the network manager via the LCD, as well as via local
and remote management. If the System Diagnostic Controller fails, the 9C214-3
power supply has been designed to continue to function and supply power to the
system.
Internal Temperature Sensor
Each 9C214-3 power supply has a built-in temperature sensor for monitoring its
own internal temperature. The results of the monitoring are available to the
network manager via LCD, as well as local and remote management.
Power Supply Cooling
Each 9C214-3 power supply includes an internal cooling fan. The System
Diagnostic Controller monitors the internal temperature of the power supply and
increases or decreases the fan speed based on that temperature. If the System
Diagnostic Controller fails, fan speed defaults to 100% to ensure protection of the
power supply.
LANVIEW LEDs
The LANVIEW LEDs on the back of the 9C214-3 power supply may be used as an
aid for troubleshooting.
There are three LANVIEW LEDs visible to the user (Figure 3-1): the PWR Status
LED, the SMB Status LED, and the Power Supply Level Indicator LED.
