Power Supply Interfaces (Opto-couplers)
The two power supply interfaces in the lower right corner of the rear panel 
are used by the active master control card to obtain status information 
from the power supplies. The interfaces are shown in Figure 32 on page 
66.
Each power supply interface supports two power units. The top interface 
supports the power supplies in slots A and C. The bottom interface 
supports the supplies in slots B and D.
An interface is operating normally when its Power LED is solid green. The 
LED of an interface is off if the two corresponding power supply slots are 
empty or the power supplies are not powered on. For example, the LED 
for the bottom interface will be off if power supply slots B and D are empty 
or if the power supplies are off.
The network operations of the chassis are not affected If one or both of the 
interfaces fail. However. the active master control card changes the PSU 
LED to flashing amber to signal the loss of communications to the power 
supplies.
Note
The power supply interfaces are not hot swappable and can only be 
serviced by an authorized service technician.
If the Power LED on a power supply interface is off, do the following:
1. Check that there are power supplies in the corresponding slots in the 
front panel and that the power supplies are powered on. (The Power 
LED on an interface is off when the slots are empty or the power 
supplies are not powered on.)
2. Inspect the LEDs on the power supplies to check for a fault condition, 
If there is a fault condition, go to “AT-SBxPWRSYS1 and AT-
SBxPWRPOE1 AC Power Supplies” on page 198 for tro
ubleshooting 
suggestions. If the LEDs indicate the power supplies are operating 
normally, go to step 3.
3. Check the PSU LED on the active master control card. If the LED is 
solid green, the power supplies and interfaces are operating normally. 
No corrective steps are required. If the PSU LED is solid amber but the 
LEDs on the power supplies indicate normal operations, there may be 
a problem with a power supply interface. Contact your Allied Telesis 
sales representative for assistance.
