Alarm Procedures
2.6.50 EQPT
• Critical (CR), Service Affecting (SA)
An Equipment Failure (EQPT) alarm indicates that a hardware failure has occurred on the reporting card.
If the EQPT alarm occurs with a BKUPMEMP alarm, see the “BKUPMEMP” section on page 2-29. The
BKUPMEMP procedure also clears the EQPT alarm.
Caution Always use the supplied electrostatic discharge wristband when working with a powered ONS 15327.
Plug the wristband cable into the ESD jack located between the top high-speed and XTC slots.
Procedure: Clear the EQPT Alarm
Step 1 Complete the “Reset a Traffic Card in CTC” procedure on page 2-129 for the reporting card:
• While the card resets, the FAIL LED on the physical card blinks and turns off.
• While the card resets, the white LED with the letters “LDG” appears on the reset card in CTC.
Step 2 Verify that the reset is complete and error-free:
• No new alarms appear in the Alarms window in CTC.
• If you are looking at the physical ONS 15327, the ACT/STBY LED is illuminated.
• If you are looking at the node view of the ONS 15327, an amber LED depiction with “Sby” has
replaced the white “LDG” depiction on the card in CTC.
Step 3 If the CTC reset does not clear the alarm, complete the “Remove and Reinsert (Reseat) a Card”
procedure on page 2-130.
Step 4 If you reinsert a high-speed card, verify the following LED behavior:
• The FAIL LED blinks for approximately 30 seconds.
• All LEDs blink once and turn off.
• The ACT/STBY LED is green (active).
Step 5 If the physical reseat of the card fails to clear the alarm, complete the “Physically Replace a Card”
procedure on page 2-130.
Note When replacing a card with an identical type of card, no additional CTC provisioning is
required.
Step 6 If the alarm does not clear, log onto http://www.cisco.com/tac for more information or call TAC to report
a service-affecting problem (1-800-553-2447).
