Meridian Link Release 5C/CCR Release 3C Installation and Upgrade Guide

There are four light-emitting diodes (LEDs) and two switches on the
faceplate of the SBC card, as illustrated in Figure 16.

The LEDs show the following conditions:

¥

Fail indicator

This red LED is lit continuously when a hardware or

software failure occurs on the SBC. It is normal for this indicator to
flash while diagnostics are being run (after power-on or during
rebooting).

¥

Status indicator

This yellow LED is lit when the MC68030 Status

signal goes low. When steadily lit, the LED indicates that the processor
has stopped. When applications are running, the LED is lit almost
continuously but flickers every few seconds.

¥

Run indicator

This green LED is lit when the microprocessor executes

a bus cycle. When applications are running, the LED is lit almost
continuously but flickers every few seconds.

¥

SCON indicator

This green LED is always steadily lit to indicate that

the SBC card is the VME bus system controller.

The switches perform the following functions:

¥

ABORT switch

This switch, when pressed, stops program execution

and returns control to the debugger. Do not press this switch. If you
accidentally press it, all software operations will stop and you will be in
the firmware debugger. In this case, press the red

RESET

switch

immediately to reboot the system. Software diagnostics during system
boot will attempt to repair possible file system damage caused by the
non-standard shutdown.

¥

RESET switch

This switch invokes a cold restart. The system

performs a self test and then reboots. Do not press the switch while
applications are running. Exit all applications and prepare the system
for powering down before pressing the

RESET

switch. If the SBC card

is the system controller, this switch also generates a VME bus system
reset. The software power-down procedure is provided later in this
guide.
