General Information
• An unsolicited SNMP trap message is received at a management
workstation, indicating an operational state change or failure.
• Event notification is received at a designated support center
through an e-mail message or the call-home feature.
Fault isolation and repair information is provided through
maintenance analysis procedures (MAPs). MAPs are step-by-step
procedures that provide information to interpret events, isolate a
failure to a FRU, remove and replace the FRU, and verify product
operation. Fault isolation begins with MAP 0000: Start MAP.
