Verify the following behavior of the status lights on the control modules to verify their
operational status:
–
The MAJOR alarm light on the newly installed control module turns ON
(amber) when you turn on power to the unit, and then blinks while the
TAOS software image is downloading. After several minutes of operation, the
MAJOR alarm light turns OFF.
–
On the redundant (secondary) control module
, the MASTER light at the bottom is
OFF to indicate that the module is in standby mode.
–
On the primary control module
, the MASTER light at the bottom is ON (solid
green) to indicate that the module is active.

Configure the unit for redundant control module configuration. For instructions, see
“Configuring control module redundancy” on page 5-15.
Note
If the original operating system (loaded at the factory before the control
module was shipped) becomes lost or corrupted, follow the instructions in the
appropriate Stinger TAOS release note to download a new operating system and
configuration.
Slot numbering and module placement
Figure 6-3 shows the slots in the Stinger FS or Stinger FS+ chassis that accept LIMs.
Front slots are numbered from left to right. LIMs can be installed in slots 1 through 7
and 10 through 16 in the front of the unit. Slots 8 and 9 are reserved for control
modules only.
On the rear of the unit, slots are numbered from right to left. Slots 8 and 9 are
logically numbered 17 and 18 by the operating system and are reserved for the trunk
modules. The remaining slots accept LPMs. Because LPMs and LIMs work together in
pairs, each LPM must correspond to a LIM in the front slot of the same number.
