Muting or unmuting the audible alarm
You may want to mute the alarm in the following situations:
• The error does not require immediate corrective action.
• You cannot correct the error at this time. For example, the error may require a replacement part.
To mute the audible alarm :
NOTE:
Er is displayed in the alphanumeric display when an error condition is present.
1. Press and hold the bottom push button until the status indicator is On.
A muted alarm will remain off until a new condition report exists.
2. To unmute the alarm, press and hold the bottom push button until the status indicator is Off. When a
new error condition occurs, the alarm will sound.
Disabling the audible alarm
CAUTION:
Disabling the audible alarm increases the potential of damage to equipment from a reported but
unobserved fault. HP does not recommend disabling the audible alarm.
Disabling the audible alarm affects only one enclosure. This action does not affect condition report
displays on the EMU alphanumeric display or errors reported by HP Command View EVA.
To disable the alarm:
1. Press and release the bottom push button until the alphanumeric display is Au.
2. Press and hold the top push button until the alphanumeric display is a Flashing on (Audible Alarm
On).
NOTE:
When the alarm display is flashing, pressing and holding the top push button causes
the display to rapidly change between on and oF and also causes the display to select
the next state.
3. Press and release the top push button to change the display to a Flashing oF (Audible Alarm Off).
4. Press and release the bottom push button to accept the change and display Au. The bottom push
button indicator is now on.
NOTE:
A disabled audible alarm (the bottom push button indicator is on) cannot sound for
any error condition. To ensure that you are immediately alerted to error conditions, it is
recommended that the alarm mute function be used rather than the alarm disable function.
If you must use the disable function, remember to enable the audible alarm as soon as
possible to ensure that you are alerted to errors.
