Checking system power and status

After you connect power to the BCM system, the Power LED on the front of the base function tray
and expansion unit lights. Once the system services have reactivated, the Power and Status LEDs
turn solid green. For further information on LED indicators, see

“Viewing the BCM system LEDs”

on page 79

.

LEDs in position 3 to 8 will flash when the SSM is not communicating (during startup, shutdown,
or operating system hang).

To check system power and status

1

If the base function tray Power LED does not light:

a

Disconnect the power cords.

b

Check all cables and power connections.

c

Ensure that the AC outlet has power.

d

Reconnect the power cords.

If the Power LED still does not light, then you have a faulty power supply module. For details
on replacing a power supply module, see

“Replacing or upgrading a power supply” on page

283

.

2

If the Power LED is red, then the system generated a critical or major alarm. To resolve an
alarm condition, see

“Resolving alarm conditions” on page 225

.

3

You are now ready to connect the system to the network and initialize it.

When the system power is on, and the system has successfully booted, the Power and Status LEDs
on the faceplates of the MBM are lit and remain constant.

Figure 75

shows an example of an MBM

and the LEDs on the MBM faceplate.

Table 50

provides a description of the MBM Power and

Status LED states.

Note: During system initialization, the system performs diagnostics on the hardware
configuration size and installation. If the power fails, system data remains in memory.

Note: You can monitor the state of the BCM system LEDs from your computer.
