External alarm connections
The external alarm connector allows connection to other devices for the following
purposes:
•
to monitor an external circuit or piece of equipment that is part of your network
(for example, an uninterruptible power source) by detecting the opening or
closing of the Alarm In contacts
•
to activate an external alarm device, such as a light or buzzer, using the Event
Status or the System Status relay
If connecting permanently to a rack-mount slide assembly, create a service loop long
enough to allow the drawer to be fully opened (see section 4.3).
Figure 9-1 identifies the Alarm connector.
Figure 9-1 Alarm connector
The Alarm In pins connect to the relay contacts of the external device. The state of
the Alarm In pins is configured through an NMTI session to detect normally open or
normally closed contacts. The opening or closing of the Alarm In pins causes the
alarm “External Alarm Raised” to appear in an alarm queue.
The Event and Status relay contacts (pins) connect to the drive lines on the external
devices. The Event Status and the System Status relays activate the external alarm
devices. When there are unacknowledged alarms in the major alarm queue, the Event
Status LED illuminates and the Event Status relay closes. When a system problem
occurs, the System Status LED illuminates and the System Status relay closes.
Pin and signal assignments
The external alarm connector (labeled Alarm), is an RJ11 connector with the pin and
signal assignments shown in Figure 9-2. Figure 9-3 shows the alarm circuit.
