Basic Operation
3.1 Introduction
This chapter describes:
•
Turning on the AlphaServer IP Platform
•
Basic operation of the IP Platform subsystem components
3.2 Turning on the AlphaServer IP Platform
After the AlphaServer IP Platform is properly secured, plugged in, and connected to the
building's network hardware, you are ready to power up the system. Refer to Appendix D and
Appendix E for the IP Platform diagrams to assist you in locating the system components.
3.2.1 Step I: Power Controller Circuit Breakers
Prior to turning on the circuit breakers for the 120 Vac or 250 Vac controllers, ensure that the
neon indicator is on, indicating that an ac voltage is present. The -48 Vdc controller does not
have an indicator for voltage; it should be connected to the -48 Vdc battery/power source
prior to turning on the circuit breakers.
To start powering up the AlphaServer IP Platform, switch the circuit breakers at each power
controller (located in the rear of the cabinet) to the on position. The modular storage shelf
BA35x-Sx automatically powers up.
3.2.2 Step II: ISA Bus Expansion Chassis
To power up the ISA bus expansion chassis, press the On/Off switch on the front of the ISA
bus expansion chassis. The green ON/Off indicator on the front of the ISA bus expansion
chassis will illuminate.
3.2.3 Step III: AlphaServer 1000A System
Turn the AlphaServer 1000A system on by pressing the On/Off switch on the front of the
AlphaServer 1000A unit. The green On/Off indicator on the front of the system will
illuminate.
At this point in the IP Platform power on sequence, the alarm indicator panel should have the
green OK LED lit and the status display will contain either a “b” indicating discharged or
partially charged batteries, or it will be blank.
As described in the following sections, each subsystem within the IP Platform initiates its
own self-test at power-up. The following sections describe what a successful power-up of the
subsystem components looks like.
