Troubleshooting
Note
The BBU has a two-year life expectancy. The BBU is a sealed unit and must be
replaced as an entire assembly. The batteries inside the BBU are not separately
replaceable.
Types of Power System Problems
Some electrical problems are difficult to trace, especially if they involve complex site
wiring in a large facility. However, you can use the controller enclosure’s LEDs and a few
simple procedures in this chapter to determine if the power problem is in the controller
enclosure, the rack, or the building.

•
Loose or damaged power connectors
