System Alarm LED 

There are two FAIL LED design on the Backplane to indicate Fan Fail and Over-
Temperature. Lead 2.0mm 8-pin header CN1 to front panel for indicating system fault. 
 

 

Fan Fail: 
When any fan module RPM is lower than 75% of the expected speed the Fan Fail is 
triggered and the Fail LED blinks in 0.5Hz rate. Goes off when the issue is resolved or 
disappeared. 
 
Overheat:   
When the system temperature at the backplane area is going beyond 45

°C

 the Temp Fail 

triggered and Fail LED blinks in 2Hz rate. Goes off when temperature is going under 45

°C. 

 

Overheat & Fan Fail: 
Fail LED stays steady on when both events triggered at the same time.

 

 

Note:   

  When the system alarm is triggered, the Buzzer beeps along with it and stops 

beeping when alarm is disappeared. 

  1 short beep(B—B—B) stands for Fan Fails 

  2 short beeps(BB—BB—BB) stand for Over-Temperature 

  Press Mute Button to disable buzzer beeping and will be retriggered when either 

failure occurs again.
