CTP Card Menu

Right click the CTP card in the Hardware View to display a menu with the following
options:

FRU Properties

Select this option to display a FRU Properties dialog box for the CTP card. Figure 17 is
an example for the power supply module. The FRU Properties dialog box includes the
FRU name, position (slot number in the backplane), state (active, backup, or failed),
part number, and serial number.

Beaconing

Select this option to add a check mark to the check box and enable beaconing for the
CTP card. This causes the amber LED on the card to flash to help you locate it in the
unit.

Switchover

You must have maintenance authorization rights to access this feature.

Select this option to display the Switchover CTP dialog box. Click the Switchover
button to switch operation from the active card to the backup card. When switchover
occurs, the green LED illuminates on the backup CTP card to indicate that it is active.

If you click the Enable Beaconing check box to add a check mark, the amber LED
beacons (blinks) on the card that was the active card before switchover.

If a redundant card has failed, or is not installed, selecting the Switchover button
displays an error message explaining that two operational cards must be installed to
use this feature.
