Once the disk is spun down, the display becomes steadily lit. Flashware continues to execute. Can also be entered when: Board tests have failed and the red LED is lit. Flashware or software has failed to initialize and has shut down. A maintenance shutdown was directed and an operational error occurs. For instance, the Faceplate and Alarm Panel (FAC) timed out on the transition of the MFB to the M_SHUT state. On a running system, maintenance software detects a condition requiring an error shutdown. When in this state, the system can be powered down and removed from the switch carrier for repair. bbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb M_SHUTMaintenance Shutdown Ð Flashes when a technician has directed Maintenance shutdown either by pressing the BOOT/SHUTDOWN button, or through the SYSTEM SHUTDOWN command on a maintenance terminal. Flashware executes and the disk is spun down. Once the system is completely shut down, the display becomes steadily lit. When in this state, the system can be powered down and removed from the switch carrier for repair. bbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb S_SHUTShows only if the interboard bus cable is disconnected.

Maintenancebbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb Maintenance Connectionsbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb Common types of console terminals are used for both switch and local DEFINITY LAN Gateway maintenance, allowing the same baud rates and parity to be used. Although a local maintenance terminal is optional, it does need to be available for installation and troubleshooting. A remote maintenance terminal may also be used. Figure 4-4, Available Terminal Connections to a DEFINITY LAN Gateway System, summarizes the terminal configurations available with the system. 4-10 Issue 1 January 1996

Maintenancebbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb Maintenance Login Procedurebbbbbbbbbbbbbbb This is not a procedure. Please supply. If you cannot log in, first check terminal power, connections, settings, and modem speed if you are connected via a modem. If the modem appears to be locked up, type * @ ; this may fix the remote access problem. If you still cannot reach the DEFINITY LAN Gateway system, call the switch administrator. Is the switch working? Can the administrator call into the system? A technician may have to be dispatched to the site. Maintenance Proceduresbbbbbbbb Replacing the Circuit Packsbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb Refer to Figure 4-5 and follow the steps listed below to replace the MFB or Alarm Board. bbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb Retaining Slotted Screw I2C Bus Cable Mounting Bracket Spring ClipGang Latches Slotted ScrewsPins bbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb Figure 4-5. Top View of DEFINITY LAN Gateway System !WARNING: Static electricity can be destructive to system parts. Use an anti-static wrist strap whenever removing or installing a DEFINITY AUDIX system. Also use an anti-static mat when taking the system apart to replace circuit packs or storage devices. 1. Ensure that the customer knows you will be powering down the system and disrupting service. 2. If it is not already shut down, bring the system to the MSHUT state. (From the Main Menu, select Maintenance, Reset System, and then Shutdown.) Issue 1 January 1996 4-13
Maintenancebbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb 3. Unsnap the two gang latches at the bottom front of the MFB and Alarm Board, and swing downward. Squeeze the boards together and slip off the spring clip. 4. Carefully slide the DEFINITY LAN Gateway system from the switch carrier. Handle with care; the system weighs 6.2 pounds. 5. Disconnect the Interboard bus cable from the top edge of both boards using the pull tab. 6. Remove the three socket-headed slotted screws that hold the MFB to the alarm board. 7. Separate the two boards. If the alarm Board is to be replaced, remove the disk and tape drives from it as described in Replacing the Disk/Tape Drive in this chapter. Replace the MFB or Alarm Board using the above steps in reverse order. Note the play between the boards when they are together. This allows the system to be easily seated into the switch carrier. Cleaning the Tape Headbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb The tape drive requires manual cleaning of its tape heads every three months or after every 100 passes. Use the provided kit that includes a cleaning tape cartridge, cleaning sticks, and cleaning solution, and follow these steps. 1. NEED PROCEDURE 2. !CAUTION: Ð The cleaning solution is highly volatile. Keep it away from high temperatures and direct sunlight. Ð Use the specified cleaning solution only. The head may be damaged if other types of solutions are used. Ð People with sensitive skin should use rubber gloves for protection. Ð Do not use broken cleaning sticks with partially detached pads. Ð Discared cleaning sticks after four to six uses. If the device becomes extremely dirty, replace the cleaning stick after one use. Replacing the Tape Cartridgebbbbbbbbbbbbbbb The DEFINITY LAN Gateway system maintains a count of write passes on a working tape cartridge. When this count reaches 150, a warning alarm is raised (FROM DEF AUDIX - WHAT TO SUBSTITUTE?) At this point, the cartridge should be replaced. The system administrator must do this job. 1. NEED PROCEDURE 4-14 Issue 1 January 1996
Maintenancebbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb !CAUTION: Check that backup tapes are not write-protected; the tab is positioned closest to the end of the cartridge (it will cover the deeper inset). On the generic tape, ensure that the tab remains in the write-protected position. Replacing the Disk/Tape Drivebbbbbbbbbbbbbbb To remove either the disk drive or the tape drive from the Alarm Board, refer back to Figure 4-1 and follow the steps below. !WARNING: Static electricity can be destructive to system parts. Use an anti-static wrist strap whenever removing or installing a DEFINITY AUDIX system. Also use an anti-static mat when taking the system apart to replace circuit packs or storage devices. 1. Ensure that the users know you will be powering down the system and disrupting service. 2. If it is not already shut down, bring the system to the MSHUT state. (From the Main Menu, select Maintenance, Reset System, and then Shutdown.) 3. Carefully slide the system from the switch carrier. Handle with care; the system weighs 6.2 pounds. 4. Cut loose and remove the tie wrap that holds the power cable and the tape drive SCSI bus cable against the Alarm Board. 5. Disconnect the SCSI bus cable from the Alarm Board that is connected to the drive being replaced, using the pull tabs. (This sentence is unclear; please clarify.) 6. As shown in Figure 4-6, unlock each of two retaining pins (B) from the slots along the edge of the Alarm Board that hold the drive in place. Slide out both pins (C); this releases the drive from the board. bbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb AB C bbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb Figure 4-6. Unlock Retaining Pin 7. Disconnect the power and SCI bus cables from the drive. 8. On the tape drive, pry off the stainless steel EMI shield. Note that the narrow end of the cover fits over the ridge above the option jumpers; the wide end locks over the mounting bracket. Issue 1 January 1996 4-15
