Alarms & troubleshooting

SERIAL_SESSION_OVERFLOW
Front STATUS LED flashing, system buffer utilization reached 95%
Excessive concurrent debug logging from managed switches or serial loopback storm
1. Log into Web/SSH console and inspect active serial sessions and port throughput;\n2. Adjust baud rate or suppress redundant debug output on high-volume switches;\n3. Terminate stale sessions and optimize circular buffer size;\n4. Enable hardware flow control (RTS/CTS) to eliminate packet drops.
PSU_INPUT_FAIL / P2_LOSS
Panel P2 LED unlit, system buzzer beeps every 5 seconds
Secondary AC input feed lost, upstream PDU breaker tripped, or AC cord loose
1. Verify console server operates uninterrupted on P1 primary supply;\n2. Inspect P2 power cable retention clip and measure PDU receptacle voltage;\n3. Resolve electrical upstream fault and reseat AC power cord firmly;\n4. Confirm P2 Green LED illuminates solid and clear alarm in EMS.
SECURITY_AUTH_LOCKOUT
Front STATUS Amber LED rapid flash, brute-force defense triggered
Consecutive failed login attempts exceeded threshold, or AAA server timeout
1. Connect via direct local serial console port with root credentials;\n2. Verify network reachability to RADIUS/TACACS+ servers and shared secrets;\n3. Review auth audit log to isolate client IP address triggering lockouts;\n4. Clear temporary IP blacklist and reset authentication lock timer.
