Alarm and event software notification alerts are provided in this document.
l
Alarm messages indicate a fault condition is active or imminent. Alarms display on both interfaces and are
recorded in the event log. Alarms require a response.
l
Event messages are conditions recorded in the event log as status information, such as Power On. Events
display on both interfaces and are recorded in the event log. Events do not require a response.
Alarms and events are recorded in the event log as records of when alerts occurred and, if applicable, when
they were cleared.
NOTE
Error messages are included in this document, but they are not software notification
alerts. They display due to incorrect entries or failed processes. The error message
prompts you to provide correct information or retry an operation.
LCD Panel
The ePDU has a three-button, graphical LCD panel. The LCD panel is located on the top surface of the ePDU
(see Figure 2). You can use this interface to retrieve current ePDU alarm data or to change ePDU operation
settings to resolve certain ePDU problems.
Alarms can also display automatically. For example, the display can show active alarms as they occur, or
particular displays may update due to a change in operating state.
