Figure 2. OG-X-FR Front Panel
1. Diagnostic Panel
The Diagnostic Panel is located on the frame front panel and enables you to
quickly monitor the frame. Information is presented in two separate lines of text:
• The top line in the display cycles through the name assigned to the frame
in DashBoard and the current IP address of the frame (or 0.0.0.0 if none
available). The IP address is configured on the MFC-OG3-N Network Controller
Card. Refer to the user guide for your card to learn more about setting the IP
address and frame name in DashBoard.
• The second line reports errors or alarm conditions from any source. This
includes fan failure alarms, power supply warnings, or errors reported by the
cards installed in the frame. The Diagnostic Panel organizes the messages
starting with the most recent at the top of the list. Refer to the user guide for
your openGear card to learn more about the types of error conditions that
your card reports.
2. Toggle Button
The Toggle button is located directly to the left of the Diagnostic Panel and
enables you to mute the audio alarm, or quickly scroll through the error messages
reported on the second line of the Diagnostic Panel.
• Pressing the Toggle button once mutes the audio alarm.
• Pressing the Toggle button multiple times scrolls through the messages.
NOTE: If you are scrolling through the list and a new error condition is reported, the list is
automatically updated and returns you to the beginning of the list.
3. Door Tabs
These tabs enable you to open the frame door and gain access to the interior
of the frame. An alarm is raised when the frame door is opened longer than 5
minutes.
4. Frame Glow
This feature is a user-programmable frame glow that can be configured to glow a
preset color, or customized colors to indicate different alarms. This is also useful
when trying to locate the frame within a rack room. Refer to the MFC-OG3-N and
MFC-8322-S User Guide for details on configuring this feature.
