7.1 A106 Utility Overview
The EC-1040GB workstation has a preinstalled A106 alarm board. The main function of
the A106 alarm board is to check whether the temperatures in the chassis and the speed
of the fans is normal. It also monitors the system via an external Watchdog timer providing
feedback as to whether the system is working properly or has dropped halt.
The A106 alarm board is connected to several critical system components as well as the
front panel LEDs and buzzer to notify the user in case of system fan failure or if high
temperatures are sensed in the workstation.
For more information on programmable features of the A106 alarm board, refer to the
documentation contained on the utility CD included with the workstation.
Figure 8-1 shows the cabling of the workstation components to the A106 alarm board.
