Hardware Description

Alarm Interface Port
The alarm interface port is a D-type 15-pin connector that supports a critical alarm output, a major
alarm output, and four alarm inputs. When your system has a critical or major alarm, the CPU will
drive the alarm relay to issue the alarm output and turn on the critical or major LED. If you push
the alarm cut off (ACO) button, the relay will be released but the LED will stay on until the alarm
is cleared.
The system signals the appropriate alarm output for the following events:
• Fan failure - Critical alarm is raised.
• On power supply failure - Critical alarm is raised. The critical alarm is cleared and a major
alarm is raised if the failed power supply is removed).
• On power source failure - Critical alarm is generated and the system's status LED turns
amber in color and blinks.
• Chassis temperature threshold exceeded - Major alarm is raised.
The system also supports four alarm inputs. The input voltage range is from 24V to 48V. If an
alarm input is active, the CPU will process it, output it to the CLI, and issue an SNMP trap. An
alarm input can also be configured to drive the appropriate alarm output pin. Please refer the
System Basics user guide for more details on configuring the alarm inputs.
See Table 4 for the alarm interface port pinouts.
