Figure 13: Backup Battery Connector Location
The connector is keyed so you cannot insert it incorrectly.
The red (positive) connection should be the furthest from
the two 30-pin option board connectors.
Note:
A NiMH battery characteristic is to lose charge if
not left in charge mode (trickle charge). Leaving
the battery unconnected, or in the unit powered
off causes the battery to fully discharge in a matter
of weeks. Note that a new NiMH battery may be
partially discharged. Therefore, allow at least 18
hours for a new battery to charge if it has not been
in a powered unit.
The NiMH battery assembly should be replaced
approximately every three years or more often if the unit
is in a high temperature environment.
Enabling Battery Only Backup Service
If a station is not compatible with SRAM support and you
want to use the optional backup battery instead of the
onboard SRAM, connect the optional NiMH battery pack
to the FX30E or FX60E.
In the station’s DataRecovery-Service, set the
Service
Enabled
property to
false
. In the station’s
PlatformServices, make sure the
Battery Present
property is
true
.
Status LEDs
Checking the Status LEDs
When power is applied, the green LED labeled
Status
is
lit. This LED status indicates that the system is normal
and power is applied. Once the FX30E/FX60E boots, the
yellow
BEAT
(heartbeat) LED begins to blink, with a
typical rate of about one blink per second. Blinking should
begin within 30 seconds after power is applied.
If, after applying power, the STATUS LED goes out, or
the BEAT LED comes on steady and stays lit for longer
than 2 minutes, contact your technical support
representative for assistance. See also Using Status
LEDs.
Using Status LEDs
The FX30E/FX60E includes several LEDs that can help
determine the status of the unit. These LEDs include:
•
Ethernet Ports
•
Heartbeat
•
Status
•
Serial Ports
See Figure 7 for the location of the status LEDs.
Ethernet Ports LEDs
Each Ethernet port has one green LED, visible on the top
cover. A LAN# LED indicates activity on that port as
follows:
•
Off:
No Ethernet link is established.
•
On:
Ethernet link is established, but no activity is on
the LAN.
•
Blinking:
Ethernet link is established with data activity
on the LAN.
Heartbeat LED
The yellow BEAT LED is located to the right of the
Ethernet status LEDs. Under normal operation, this LED
should blink about once per second. If the BEAT LED
stays on constantly, does not light, or blinks very fast
(more than once per second), contact your technical
support representative for assistance.
Important:
During boot-up, the heartbeat LED blinks in
a 90% on, 10% off pattern.
Do not remove
power during this time, or data loss may
result (NDIO module’s firmware upgrade
may be in progress).
