Over-temperature Sequence Condition (SmartBits 6000C)
The TEMP LED on the SmartBits 6000C automatically goes through a sequence
monitoring procedure when the chassis is operating. These functions are automated and
prevent users from experiencing incorrect tests.
When the chassis is running properly, the LED will be Green.
When an “over-temperature” condition is sensed:
1 The LED will continue to be Green. The chassis will start to monitor the temperature
for one minute.
2 If the “over-temperature” condition is still present after the (one minute) delay, the
LED will turn Yellow and the chassis will attempt to suspend all test module opera-
tions (such as, SyncStart). It will also reserve all modules to the controller and stop all
test traffic.
3 The chassis will continue to monitor the temperature for one additional minute.
4 If the chassis is still in “over-temperature” after the additional minute, the chassis will
automatically reset all modules being used. The LED will turn red to further draw
attention to the condition.
5 At any point during this sequence, the user could issue a RESET to the controller/
chassis. This RESET will perform the normal initialization; but will also continue
monitoring the thermal characteristics of the chassis.
6 If the chassis is still over the operational temperature, the above sequence will be re-
initiated. If the thermal condition improves to be within the upper limit, then the chas-
sis will once again be usable.
7 If a user logs onto the chassis using a TELNET session while the chassis is in an
“over-temperature” condition, an additional message will be displayed to indicate the
condition.
