Red ALM or Alarm LED
G700 LEDs
The red ALM or Alarm LED is on the top-left most corner of the LED Panel next to other
important system LEDs (PWR, CPU, MSTR), as shown in Figure 35: G700 Front Panel LEDs.
The presence of this red ALM LED is primarily for on-site service technicians or dispatches. It
alerts technicians of major failures that require a physical replacement or removal of equipment.
Most major G700 components controlled or monitored by the motherboard can be a cause of
failure. This includes the VoIP Media Module, but not other Media Modules.
Note: The
Note:
red ALM LED lights for motherboard problems only. Check for a red ALM
LED for problematic G700s. Also check all of the Media Module LEDs for any
Media Module-specific red ALM LEDs.
Note:
Note: If the red ALM LED is lit on a non-VoIP Media Module, check the G700 alarm
screens and the Communication Manager alarm screens to determine where the
fault lies.
The red ALM LED indicates the health of the G700 by turning on under two distinct
circumstances:
● G700 hardware failure
- Impaired functions of the Layer 2 Switching Processor, Media Gateway Processor, or
VoIP engine
- Power supply voltage out of bounds
- Unit overheating
● The G700 cannot communicate to any server
The following are a few examples:
● The red ALM LED is lit when two or more fans have failed.
Various warnings, alarms, and a graceful shutdown are performed based on the fan and
thermal sensor conditions.
● The red ALM LED is lit from the time power is applied until diagnostics end.
● The red ALM LED turns “OFF” when:
- Physical conditions such as temperature are rectified and return to normal or acceptable
operating ranges.
- The alarm is cleared manually.
