3550.0. "Question on DR90FA power LED" by ACISS2::WELLS () Wed May 22 1996 20:51

    The customer has provided us a DECrepeater 90FA without the manual. 
    Pardon me if the answer is in the manual.
    
    When I place the 90FA in slot 7, the power LED is on.  When I place it
    in slot 3, the LED is off even though the # LED is on.  Is this a
    problem?  I plan on using only the fiber ports.
    
    Thanks,
    Leland

3550.1STRWRS::KOCH_PIt never hurts to ask...Wed May 22 1996 23:333
    
    It must be in slot 7 or 8 to use the AUI. Don't know whether another
    slot makes the fiber active.
3550.2Fiber works in slot 2ACISS2::WELLSThu May 23 1996 04:335
    We hooked up the fiber tonight and it works with the module in slot 2. 
    The power light is still not on.  I'm still interested in knowing if it
    should be or it won't light unless the module is in slot 7 or 8.

    I will assume that you are plugging it into a DEChub 90.
    12 V power only goes to slots 7 and 8 in the 90.  12V goes to all slots
    in a dechub 900.  the circuitry is checking for 12 V.

    Thanks for the answer.  It is a DEChub 90.
    
    I have a DECrepeater 90FS manual and it is interesting that its LED
    lights when the module has 5 v of power.

    The 90FS DC OK LED is designed to NOT light when the module is not
    receiving 12V power.  Additionally, if the 90FS is placed in a DEChub
    90 in any slot other than slot 7 or 8, the firmware realizes that no
    12V power is available and flashes the FRU OK LED.
    
    When no 12V power is available on a 90FS, the backplane thinwire port
    is not functional, the front-panel AUI port has no power for an
    external MAU, and the Flash code store cannot be updated.
