1–8 director 2/64 installation guide
Overview
CTP2 card serves as a backup. A CTP2 card provides an Initial Machine Load (IML)
button on the faceplate. When the button is pressed and held for three seconds, the
director reloads firmware and resets the CTP2 card without switching off power or
affecting operational fiber-optic links.
Each CTP2 card also provides a 10/100 megabit per second (Mbps) RJ-45 twisted pair
connector on the faceplate that attaches to an Ethernet Local Area Network (LAN).
Each CTP2 card provides System Services Processor (SSP) and Embedded Port (EP)
subsystems. The SSP subsystem runs director applications, communicates with
director ports, and controls the RS-232 maintenance port and 10/100 Mbps ethernet
port. The EP subsystem provides Class F processing, and manages frame transmission
to and from the Serial Crossbar Assembly (SBAR). In addition, CTP2 cards provide
non-volatile memory for storing firmware director configuration information,
persistent operating parameters, and memory dump files. Director firmware is
upgraded concurrently (without disrupting operation).
Each card faceplate contains a green light emitting diode (LED) that turns O
N if the
card is operational and active, and an amber LED that turns O
N if the card fails. The
LEDs are O
FF on the backup CTP2. The amber LED FLASHES if beaconing is enabled.
Front Bezel
The bezel at the front of the Director 2/64 includes two indicator LEDs. The green
power LED turns O
N when the director is powered on and operational. If the LED
turns O
FF, a facility power source, alternating current (AC) power cord, or director
power distribution failure is indicated.
The amber system error LED turns O
N when the director detects an event requiring
immediate operator attention, such as an FRU failure. The LED remains illuminated
as long as an event is active. The LED F
LASHES if unit beaconing is enabled.
Cable Management Assembly
The cable management assembly positioned at the front of the director provides
routing for Ethernet cables attached to CTP2 cards and fiber-optic cables attached to
director ports. The assembly rotates up to provide front access to the redundant power
supplies.
The cable management assembly is supplied with rack mount kits for the
9000/10000/11000 and M-Series racks only. The rail tray depicted in Figure 2–12 is
used for the HP rack system/e rack.
