While investigating the ALS_DIFF issue (due to which we were unable to lock the IFO since Tuesday night - see alog 67875) Camilla and Gabriele found that the ETMX ESDLV MONs have been stuck at 24V since Tuesday. We tried toggling ON/OFF button for the Hi/Low voltage on each quadrant from the medm screen (SUS_CUST_QUAD_BIO) however nothing changed.
Fil and I then went to the End X station and power cycled the ESD drivers and IO chassis, without any luck. Fil spotted that the +15V light on the low voltage interface chassis was not ON (which was not a good sign). We power cycled that as well and it worked for a min and then went bad. We then decided to replace the faulty low voltage interface chassis with a new one after filing a work permit (11056), while SUS ETMX was put in SAFE state. We carefully re-connected all the cables in the new chassis, powered it ON and checked for grounding issues using multi meter and found no issues. On the ETMX medm screen we cross checked the ESD power supply by toggling it on/off and it worked fine.
Given below are the s/n of the old and new chassis
ESD low voltage interface chasiss

S/N S1500070 (new)

We are now able to lock the IFO with 60W input power.
