Abstract

PURPOSE:To shorten the time required for the exchange maintenance check by setting a display means in accordance with each slot position where a logical package is stored and turning on and off the display means with instruction of a maintenance diagnostic device. CONSTITUTION:A cage 1 which stores the logical packages 8 contains the light emitting diodes 2 set in accordance with each slot position. A diagnostic control part 6 is connected to each diode 2 and each package 8 via the cables 7. Then each package 8 is diagnosed with a diagnostic control action of the part 6. The diagnostic result of a trouble is sent to each diode 2. Then the diode 2 set at the position of the faulty package 8 is turned on. Thus the faulty package position is easily shown and the time required for the exchange maintenance check is shortened.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a cage for a logic package of an information processing device, etc., in which the logic packages stored therein can be easily exchanged and maintained.

[Conventional technology]

In conventional cages of this type, the positions of slots are indicated by numbers or the like indicating the slot locations in case a package to be replaced is indicated for failure diagnosis or the like.

In other words, a consecutive number is attached to the position of each slot of the logical package to be stored, and when the maintenance diagnosis device diagnoses a failure, it indicates (displays) one of these consecutive numbers.
By doing so, maintenance personnel were given instructions on which packages to replace.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] In the conventional cage described above, after a maintenance diagnosis device performs a failure diagnosis and obtains instructions on which package should be replaced,
Maintenance personnel have to write down the number indicating the location of the package and visually search for the number or other location indication provided on the cage, which poses a problem in that it takes time to perform replacement, maintenance, and inspection.

[Means for Solving the Problems] The present invention has been made in view of the above points, and reduces the time required for replacement, maintenance and inspection by directly displaying the location of a failed logic package by lighting a display means. In order to achieve this purpose, a display means is provided corresponding to each slot position in which a logic package is stored, and the display means analyzes fault information and determines a faulty logic package. It is connected to a maintenance diagnosis device and is configured to display the location of a failed logic package by turning on and off according to instructions from the maintenance diagnosis device.

[Example code] Hereinafter, the present invention will be explained based on the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing the appearance of an embodiment of a logic package cage according to the present invention. Further, FIG. 2 is a circuit diagram illustrating a circuit of an embodiment of the logic package cage according to the present invention, and FIG. 3 is a perspective view illustrating the state in which the logic package cage according to the present invention is used. .

A cage 1 that stores a logic package 8 is provided with a light emitting diode 2 corresponding to each slot position (see FIG. 1). Each light emitting diode 2 is connected by a circuit shown in FIG. 2 so that each light emitting diode 2 can be lit individually, and is connected to an external diagnostic control section 6 via a connector 3.

The cage 1 is connected to a diagnostic control section 6 via a cable 7, as shown in FIG. As a result, the diagnostic control unit 6
is connected to each light emitting diode 2 and each logic package 8 by a cable 7, and the logic package 8 is diagnosed by the diagnosis control operation of the diagnosis control section 6. The reaction of the logic package 8 due to the diagnostic control operation is returned to the diagnostic control section 6 via the cable 7, and the diagnosis control section 6 performs failure diagnosis based on the reaction of the logic package 8.

The results of the failure diagnosis are transmitted from the diagnostic control unit 6 to each light emitting diode 2 via the cable 7, and the light emitting diode 2 provided at the position of the logic package 8 diagnosed as having failed is turned on, indicating that it is normal. The light emitting diode 2 provided at the location of the diagnosed logic package 8 is turned off.

The diagnostic control unit 6 performs failure diagnosis according to the operations of maintenance personnel, and determines the failure logic package 8 in the above-mentioned order.

When a faulty logic package 8 is found, the light emitting diode 2 indicating the slot containing the logic package 8 is turned on. By replacing the logic package 8 in the slot of the light-emitting diode 2 that has been lit, maintenance personnel can easily replace, maintain, and inspect the logic package 8 without having to look for the location. .

[Effects of the Invention] As explained above, the present invention provides a display means attached to each slot position in which a logic package is stored, and the display means analyzes fault information and detects faulty logic packages. It is connected to a maintenance diagnostic device that makes a judgment,
The structure is configured so that the location of the failed logic package is displayed by turning on and off according to instructions from the maintenance diagnosis device, so that the location of the failed logic package can be directly displayed by lighting the display means, thereby facilitating replacement, maintenance, and inspection. It becomes possible to shorten the time required.
