ePDU. You can use the LCD front panel interface buttons to retrieve current ePDU alarm data or to change
ePDU operation settings to resolve problems (see Figure 1).

Using the LCD interface buttons, scroll up or down to highlight Active Alarms on the Main Menu. Press ENTER
to display the first active alarm screen. Scroll up or down if needed to view active alarm data. When you finish
your review, press ESC to return to the previous menu. If the backlight was blinking red to indicate an active
alarm, the backlight returns to normal (see Figure 3).
Alarms can also display in the LCD display automatically. For example, the LCD display can show active alarms
as they occur, or updates due to a change in operating state.
