Dual Power Management
The console server comes with two power supplies which it may self-monitor. If either of them
fails, two actions are performed, sounding a buzzer and generating a syslog message. This
automanagement may be disabled (no actions are taken) or enabled (default), any time by issuing
the commands.
# signal_ras buzzer off
# signal_ras buzzer on
To disable the buzzer in boot time, edit the shell script /bin/ex_wdt_led.sh and remove the keyword
buzzer. The buzzer won’t sound if there is a power failure in any power supply. This parameter
does not affect the behavior of the command signal_ras buzzer on/off. To make this change
effective even after future reboots, create a line with /bin/ex_wdt_led.sh in /etc/config_files, save
and quit the file and run saveconf.
NOTE: This section applies only to the dual power supply model of the console server.
Date and Time, Timezone and Daylight Saving
To adjust the date and time, use the date command. Timezone is configured using the CLI utility or
web manager (see the ACS 5000 Installation/Administation/User Guide for using the web manager
to set time, date and timezone information.)
NOTE: Setting the system timezone creates a new file called /etc/localtime, which erases /etc/TIMEZONE.
Daylight Saving Time (DST)
When the DST parameter is set to on, the console server automatically adjusts its time information
to comply with the time shift appropriate to the target timezone. For states, countries or regions that
do not observe daylight saving time, the dst parameter must be set to off even if other regions in the
target timezone do observe the daylight saving time change.
In rare occurrences or under special circumstances, a region or country might require that a
customized daylight saving time be used. Such circumstances might require a temporary or
permanent change of date for the beginning and ending of daylight time, or a time offset greater or
less than the usual one hour. Instructions follow for customizing the daylight saving time
parameters.
Enter the following command to set the date and time. For configuration parameters see Table 5.9.
