Re: Tn 771

Since this happened before you got there, you have no idea why they did such a harebrained thing. Without a PI card SPE A was out of service and you would have had at least one major alarm. If SPE B had failed, your switch would have crashed.

Only Avaya can disable maintenance object alarms, that is the only way you would not have had an alarm. This had to have been a temporary fix that was never followed up on. The PI board has been replaced and you have successfully interchanged processors so all seems to be ok now. It is still strange though.
