Chapter 2 Alarm Troubleshooting
2.7.89 EQPT-DIAG
An Equipment Failure alarm indicates that a hardware failure has occurred on the reporting card. If the
EQPT alarm occurs with a BKUPMEMP alarm, refer to the “BKUPMEMP” alarm on page 2-56. The
BKUPMEMP procedure also clears the EQPT alarm.
This alarm is also invoked if a diagnostic circuit detects a card application-specific integrated circuit
(ASIC) failure. In this case, if the card is part of a protection group, an APS switch occurs. If the card is
the protect card, switching is inhibited and a“PROTNA” alarm on page 2-198 is raised. The standby path
generates a path-type alarm.
Clear the EQPT Alarm
Step 1 If traffic is active on the alarmed port, you could need to switch traffic away from it. See the
“2.9.2 Protection Switching, Lock Initiation, and Clearing” section on page 2-262 for commonly used
traffic-switching procedures.
Step 2 Complete the “Reset a Traffic Card in CTC” procedure on page 2-270 for the reporting card. For LED
behavior, see the “2.8.2 Typical Traffic Card LED Activity During Reset” section on page 2-260.
Step 3 Verify that the reset is complete and error-free and that no new related alarms appear in CTC. Verify the
LED status. A green ACT/SBY LED indicates an active card. An amber ACT/SBY LED indicates a
standby card.
Step 4 If the CTC reset does not clear the alarm, complete the “Remove and Reinsert (Reseat) Any Card”
procedure on page 2-273 for the reporting card.
Step 5 If the physical reseat of the card fails to clear the alarm, complete the “Physically Replace a Traffic Card”
procedure on page 2-273 for the reporting card.
Step 6 If the alarm does not clear, log into the Technical Support Website at http://www.cisco.com/techsupport
for more information or call Cisco TAC 1 800 553-2447 in order to report a Service-Affecting (SA)
problem.
2.7.89 EQPT-DIAG

An Equipment-Diagnostic Failure alarm indicates that a software or hardware failure has occurred on
the reporting card. This alarm can be raised against a traffic card or a cross-connect card.
Clear the EQPT-DIAG Alarm
Step 1 If traffic is active on the alarmed card, you could need to switch traffic away from it. Refer to the
“2.9.2 Protection Switching, Lock Initiation, and Clearing” section on page 2-262 for procedures.
Step 2 Complete the “Remove and Reinsert (Reseat) Any Card” procedure on page 2-273 for the alarmed card
Step 3 If the alarm does not clear, complete the “Physically Replace a Traffic Card” procedure on page 2-273
if it is raised against a traffic card, or complete the “Physically Replace an In-Service Cross-Connect
Card” procedure on page 2-274 if the alarm is raised against the cross-connect card.
