Procedure 5-9: Clear "CP failed/CP contributing to a pack failure" alarms
Overview
This procedure is used to clear the following alarms:
Important!
The CP failed alarms may be reported with one or more CP contributing to a pack failure alarms. The CP contributing to a pack failure alarms identify additional circuit packs that have contributed to the failed circuit pack. The CP failed alarms must be addressed before the CP contributing to a pack failure alarms.
