ignored for this section on Carrier Port Power Unit). Figure 10-13 illustrates the 
position of the power unit and the PDU and shows which power unit each fuse 
controls in a small cabinet (from a System 75 R1V3 upgrade). Figure 10-14 
shows the position of the fuses on the PDU and describes how to replace a fuse. 
The TN2036 Voltage Range circuit pack provides easy access for testing the 
various voltages on the backplane pins. For more information, refer to the 
"Troubleshooting Backplane Voltage Problems" section found in Chapter 5, 
"Routine Maintenance Procedures".
The power unit has two LEDs: if the yellow LED is lit it means the power unit is 
operating as normal; if the red LED is lit it means the power unit has a fault; and if 
neither is lit it LED means no external power is being supplied. The CARR-POW 
(Carrier Port Power Unit) MO represents the pair of power units that power each 
carrier in a multicarrier cabinet system. If a problem is reported by hardware for a 
power unit on a port carrier, the system can recycle the pair of power units in a 
port carrier; however, if the problem is reported on a control carrier, the system 
cannot recycle the pair of power units in a control carrier. In a standard 
multicarrier cabinet (PPN or EPN) carrier A is the control carrier, and carriers B, 
C, D, and E are the port carriers. In a High or Critical Reliability system 
multicarrier cabinet (PPN or EPN), carriers A and B are the control carriers, and 
carriers C, D, and E are the port carriers. However, carrier B can be recycled 
only if the Active Expansion Interface Link and Active Tone-Clock circuit pack are 
in the A carrier.
Loss of the 631 DB Carrier Port DC Power Unit in the active control carrier (the A 
carrier for a standard system and either the A or B carrier for a High or Critical 
Reliability system) causes loss of the administration terminal. In a High or Critical 
Reliability system, the Active SPE should switch to the Standby SPE if there is a 
CARR-POW alarm.
Recycling a carrier turns off the pair of power units, and turns them back on two 
seconds later.
!
WARNING:
Recycling carriers disrupts service for all circuit packs on the carrier.
The DEFINITY Generic 1 can also support neon message waiting lamps on 
analog telephones. If this is required, then the carrier(s) that contains the TN769 
Analog Neon circuit packs must also be supplied with 165 volt to power the neon 
lights. The 165 volt can only be supplied by a TN752 or a TN755B power unit 
circuit pack. The following table lists all power unit and power-related circuit 
packs for the system and indicates the voltages they can supply. Figure 10-12 
through Figure 10-17 show a schematic of each power unit type. The TN2036 
Voltage Range circuit pack provides easy access for testing the various voltages
