Model 6511RC Matrix Switch Administrators’ Reference Guide
4 • Alarms
The 6511RC uses three methods to indicate an alarm condition:
•
Front panel LED and rear blade indications—The front panel ALARM LED and rear blade ALARM LED
uses the following three states to indicate the presence and severity of an alarm:
-
Off
—No alarm is active
-
Solid
—Minor alarm
-
Flashing
—Major alarm
Note
The 6511RC’s factory-default configuration is to consider all alarms to be
major (orange) ones, so unless you customize the alarms severity levels (see sec-
tion
“Alarm Severity Configuration”
on page 26), any alarm that occurs will
cause the ALARM LED to flash, indicating a major alarm—the LED will
never indicate a minor alarm.
Note
If both power supplies are functioning normally, the
POWER
LED will display
a solid light, but if one or more power supplies fail, the
POWER
LED will
flash.

Management web page indication—The Alarms section (see

dow (see

severity levels of active alarms.

tions also appear as red highlighting on the Home window (see

major
(severity 5) alarms are active. When active, major alarm notifications
also appear as orange highlighting on the Home window (see

mark (see

on page 98) on the System Status window (see
figure 48
on page 98).

minor
(severity 6) alarms are active. When active, minor alarm notifi-
cations also appear as yellow highlighting on the Home window (see

on page 98) on the System Status window (see
figure 48
on page 98).
