Testing other BLUEstreak modules
- For a power shelf with two, three or four BLUEstreak
modules, the other modules should be plugged into Position 1 in the rack and tested in the
same manner as above in Sections 19.2 to 19.8.
19.10 Testing the Complete Power System
- With the input power source off or disconnected,
insert all BLUEstreak modules into the power shelf. Connect a resistive power load of
approximately 80% of full load value for a single BLUEstreak across the output. Connect
a color-coded, twisted pair of remote sense leads to the load, being careful to connect the
correct polarity.
Note the comments in section 9.2.1 regarding circuit breakers or fuses in the output power
feed.
19.11
Turn on or plug in the input power source. Check the voltage across the load with a digital
voltmeter. The voltage should be within about ± 1% of its nominal value. The green LED
should be on and the red LED should be off for all units.
19.12
While the rack is operating, disengage module 1 (left one) and check the output voltage. It
should be very close to the previous value and the green LED should remain on for module 2
(and 3 and 4) which are now carrying the load. Re-insert module 1 and repeat the procedure
by disengaging and re-engaging modules 2, 3 and 4 in turn. The complete power shelf has
now been shown to operate properly in the redundant mode with hot swapping. Disconnect
the input power source.
