Failure Type Handling Measure
Failure in the power
supply to other
components in the
cabinet
Check as follows:
1. Check whether the indicator on the fuse terminal block that
connects power supply to the component is on. Skip this step
and go to 5.2 if this component does not use any fuse terminal
block.
l If the indicator on the fuse terminal block is on, the fuse is
faulty. In this case, replace the fuse according to the
instructions in Replacing a Fuse.
l If the indicator on the fuse terminal block is off, go to 5.2.
2. Use a multimeter to measure the input power to the component.
l If the input power is normal, replace the component.
l If the input power is abnormal, check whether the power
cable for the component is connected securely. If the power
cable is not securely connected, turn off the circuit breaker
for the component (if there is no circuit breaker for the
component, remove the connector from the power unit) and
reconnect the power cable. If the power cable is securely
connected, the protector (such as circuit breaker or fuse) on
the component may be damaged. In this case, replace the
damaged protector. If the protector cannot be replaced,
replace the upper-level power distribution component.
