The T-DAC 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 T-DAC’s factory-default configuration is to consider all alarms to
be major (orange) ones, so unless you customize the alarms severity lev-
els (see section
“Alarm Severity Configuration”
on page 54), 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.
