Starting the DPU
11. Verify DPU progresses from blank state to warming to hot standby
via the LEDs and via the Backup Atom attributes as viewed from the
Point Browser at the maxSTATION.
12. Acknowledge all alarms from the new DPU.
13. Place the key switch of the new DPU in the Run or Locked mode.
14. If the new DPU is the primary of the pair, wait at least 30 seconds to
allow its configuration and database to be updated, then press its
Takeover button to give it control.
15. Acknowledge all DPU alarms and make sure they all clear.
16. If the recently removed DPU is to be shipped or put in storage,
unplug the NiCd battery pack from the motherboard’s connector.
Restarting a DPU after Failover
If an inactive DPU detects a problem with the active DPU, it will
immediately take control of the process and force the other DPU to become
inactive. If the originally active DPU is still operating, it will detect the loss
of control and go into an offline mode, setting its State LED to red. In this
mode the DPU will not warm from the new active DPU without manual
intervention.
DO NOT reset the active DPU since there is no available backup and all the
outputs will be reset. Press the Reset button on the inactive DPU. That will
cause it to restart and, if capable, warm from the active. If it does not
properly warm, it should be replaced.
Alarm Annunciation
Diagnostic alarms originating at a DPU are posted as remote alarms on the
maxSTATION Alarm List. Refer to Publication 278558, Alarm Message
Reference Guide, for a description of these alarms. DPU front panel LEDs
also indicate certain fatal diagnostic alarms.
