Thermal Alarm
The four types of thermal alarms and the associated corrective actions are described in
Table 5-8.
Using Test Mode
When no faults are present in the storage system, you can run test mode to check the
LEDs and the audible alarm on the ESI/ops panel. In this mode, the amber and green
LEDs on each of the drive carrier modules and the ESI/ops panel flash on and off in
sequence; the alarm beeps twice when test mode is entered and exited.
To activate test mode, press the alarm mute button until you hear a double beep. The
LEDs then flash until the storage system is reset, either when you press the alarm mute
button again or if an actual fault occurs.
