Resolving Problems
After the issue is identified and isolated, try to determine the root cause and then resolve the problem. For
example, the issue may be a physical or mechanical problem, a problem with connectivity, or a problem with
the existing settings for value ranges and thresholds.
First, check the troubleshooting reference tables in the Troubleshooting chapter in this document. There are
eight tables associated with different categories of problems. Find the table that is associated with the type of
problem you are investigating, including the following:
l
Power Outlets
l
Chassis and Installation
l
Circuit Breakers
l
LCD Alarms
l
COM Ports
l
ePDU Web Interface Alarm and Events
l
Error Messages
l
Accessories
Each table has three columns defining problems or specifying interface messages, providing possible root
causes, and suggesting actions that may help you solve problems.
If you cannot find a resolution to a problem in the tables, contact customer service or a local representative for
guidance or product part replacement.
Clearing Alarm Notifications
The are several ways to clear alarm notifications. For example, you can clear accumulated events from the Event
Log display on ePDU interfaces or suppress blinking alarm indicators on the ePDU.
Clear the Web Interface Event Log
To clear the Event Log, go to the ePDU Web interface menu bar and select “Logs” under “Logs &
Notifications.” The “Logs” page displays the current Event Log. Click
Clear
.
Clear the LCD Panel Event Log
To clear the Event Log, use the control buttons on the ePDU LCD panel to access the menu item, “CLEAR
EVENT LOG.” Select
Yes
.
Suppress ePDU Alarm Indicators
To suppress ePDU alarm indicators, such as blinking LEDs or blinking LCD alarm displays, touch any control
button on the panel.
NOTE
Not all alarms or events need to be cleared. Some alarms automatically clear when
the condition resolves. For example, if a load over current alarm is generated, the
alarm is cleared when the current drops 0.25A below the level (alarm hysteresis).
