the socket equipped with earthing contact!
Never use the device with a damaged mains
cable!
Before opening the device disconnect it from the mains by unplugging the cable from
the socket equipped with an earthing contact and wait for several minutes until the com-
ponents have cooled down! Thus you will avoid injuries due to the electric
shock or
burns!
Connect the device to one supply voltage only according to specifications on the built-
in power supply unit!
Always use a socket equipped with earthing contact! Use a terminal strip with overvolt-
age protection or an uninterruptible power
supply (UPS)!
Always connect the device to earthed power networks (TN
-
networks according to VDE
0100 Part 300 and IEC 60364
-
3)! The operation via ungrounded networks or networks
(IT networks) earthed via impedance is not permitted!
In case of faults, a defective device or a possible defect pull out the mains plug from the
socket equipped with earthing contact!
Never put a damaged device into operation!
Pay attention to sharp edges in the housing!
Never switch off the device by means of the mains switch without previous shutdown of

5.4 Error monitoring
Example: ibaOut-Temp card installed in a RAID system
The temperature and the status of the power supply unit can be monitored with the slot
cards ibaOut-Te mp and ibaOut-State. The cards can be ordered separately. If one of the
cards is ordered with ibaRackline, it is installed by default in slot X20. If you want to install
the card later on, refer to chapter 7.4.
The status of temperature and power supply unit are indicated each with a bicolored LED
on the cards.
LED Status Description
TEMP green
red
Temperature OK
Overtemperature
POWER green
red
Power supply OK
Power supply error
Redundant power supply: error in one of the two power
supply units
5.4.1 ibaOut-Temp
ibaOut-Temp provides two relay outputs for temperature and power supply (2-pin con-
nector), which can be used to indicate errors. Both error types are indicated separately.
The switch position of the outputs is as follows:
Status Switch POWER Switch TEMP
Power off or power error closed open
Power OK, temperature OK open open
Power OK, overtemperature open closed
Contact loading capacity
Nominal current: 400 mA
Nominal voltage: 60 V

Manual ibaRackline
14 Issue 1.16
Compatibility to previous ibaRackline models
ibaRackline computers of older type series provide only one relay output for error indi-
cation. The relay contact is closed when an error occurs, without differentiating between
overtemperature or a power supply error.
ibaOut-Temp can be used in the same way, when both outputs are connected to one
output (parallel circuit).
Wiring diagram of the parallel circuit:
5.4.2 ibaOut-State
ibaOut-State provides an output (6-pin connector) which can be used to indicate errors.
Both error types are indicated separately.
These are the switch positions:
Switch state switch state
Power OK,
temperature OK
Power off or
Power error and
overtemperature
Power error,
temperature OK
Power OK,
overtemperature
Contact loading capacity
Nominal current: 300 mA
Nominal voltage: 220 V DC
Compatibility to previous ibaRackline models
The behavior of ibaOut-State is identical with the previous models with a relay output, if
pin 5 and 6 are used. The relay contact of the previous ibaRackline models is closed
when an error occurs, without differentiating between overtemperature or a power supply
error.

7.4 Installing ibaOut-Temp/ibaOut-State
The temperature and the status of the power supply unit can be monitored with the slot
cards ibaOut-Te m p and ibaOut-State, see also chapter 5.4.
The installation procedure is identical for both cards. The following description is based
on the example of ibaOut-Temp.
ibaOut-Temp
Order no. 11.110001
ibaOut-State
Order no. 11.110002
After having opened the housing cover proceed as follows:
1. ibaOut-Temp can be installed in one of the slots X20 to X26 (X20 is recommended).
2. On the backside of the device, break out the cover plate of the slot where the card
is to be installed by means of a screw driver. (Slot X21 in the example below.)
3. Above the slot, there is a screw in an opening, which is used to fix the card later.
Loosen the screw and remove it.
