Front Panel LCD
Xpander Rackmount 2 front panel LCD
provides enclosure details and status.
Beneath the LCD are two buttons: left button
scrolls through main-menu and right button

When you first connect power, Xpander
comes up in standby mode. The LCD displays
Cubix on the top line and Corporation on the
bottom line. This is the Start menu. Access all
other main menu items by pressing the left
button.
The upper right corner of the LCD shows a flashing asterisk *. This indicates that the on-board
Micro-Controller Unit (MCU) is running properly. If the asterisk is not flashing or the LCD is not
responding, reset the MCU by pressing and holding the left button for 3 seconds. A
corresponding HB (heartbeat) LED on the main board also shows the MCU is working.
When a fault occurs, the LCD will jump to that fault and the LCD backlight will flash on / off.
Press the left button to acknowledge the fault and the LCD will stop flashing and enable normal
operation. The LCD will continue to display the fault at the applicable sub-menu until you clear
the fault.
