5.10.1 Global DIAG/STATUS indicator LED for the card
This multi-function, multi-colour LED is used for the following purposes:
• To indicate normal operation.
• To indicate the alarm status of “multi-channels”
• To indicate an AMC8 hardware failure.
Table 5-1 provides detailed information on the behaviour of the AMC8 DIAG/STATUS LED
for the card.
NOTE: In Table 5-1, events are presented in decreasing order of priority for an
AMC8 / IOC8T card pair (that is, “Red blinking” has the highest priority).

Event(s)
Red blinking
AMC8 hardware failure
or
AMC8 powered up but not yet configured
(monitoring not running)
Yellow blinking
Configuration error or IOC8T slot number mismatch
(monitoring not running)
Green blinking
AMC8 configured but in stabilisation phase
(monitoring not running)
Red (continuous)
Note: Applies to multi-channel processing only.
For Danger level alarms configured as not latched: indicates that
a signal is below the lower Danger level (D) or above the upper
Danger level (D+). That is, there is a currently active processing alarm.
For Danger level alarms configured as latched: indicates that
a signal was below the lower Danger level (D) or above the upper
Danger level (D+) and was latched but has not yet been reset, or that a
signal is below the lower Danger level or above the upper Danger level.
That is, either there was a previously active processing alarm that has
not been reset or there is a currently active processing alarm.
Yellow (continuous)
Note: Applies to multi-channel processing only.
For Alert level alarms configured as not latched: indicates that
a signal is below the lower Alert level (A) or above the upper
Alert level (A+). That is, there is a currently active processing alarm.
For Alert level alarms configured as latched: indicates that
a signal was below the lower Alert level (A) or above the upper
Alert level (A+) and was latched but has not yet been reset, or that a
signal is below the lower Alert level or above the upper Alert level. That
is, either there was a previously active processing alarm that has not
been reset or there is a currently active processing alarm.
Green (continuous)
Normal card operation – AMC8 configuration is running correctly with
no alarms and no errors
