The FAULT LED is On

Problem: the FAULT LED on the Power Supply module is ON. This

LED should always be off when input power is on, the Power Supply

output voltage is within proper limits, and the watchdog alarm

coming from the backplane is not active. The rack must also contain

at least one AutoMax Processor module (or, for a remote rack, a

Remote I/O module). Note that the FAULT LED will be ON if there is

no Processor (or Remote I/O module) in the rack.
Use the following procedure to determine whether the problem is

caused by a malfunctioning Power Supply or by a watchdog alarm.
Step 1.

Verify that the Power Supply is securely seated in the rack.

The FAULT LED will come ON if there is not a good

connection to the rack backplane.

Step 2.

If you have more than one Processor in the rack, a

watchdog timeout will not be indicated by the Power

Supply FAULT LED. If the Power Supply FAULT LED is ON,

the Power Supply must be replaced.
If the rack contains a single AutoMax Processor or is a

remote rack, check the OK LED on the Processor module

or Remote I/O module. If the OK LED is OFF, it may

indicate a watchdog timeout.

Step 3.

Turn off power to the rack. Replace the Processor or

Remote I/O module. Turn on power to the rack.

Step 4.

If the Power Supply FAULT LED turns ON, the Power

Supply is malfunctioning. Replace the Power Supply.
