Troubleshooting Checklist
Routine maintenance to this product is not required. In the event of problems with your
9232
, the
following basic troubleshooting checklist may help identify the source of the problem. If the card still
does not appear to be working properly after checking all possible causes, please contact your products
distributor, or the Technical Support department at the numbers listed under the “Contact Us” section
at the end of this manual.
1.
Visual Review
Performing a quick visual check may reveal many problems, such
as connectors not properly seated or loose cables. Check the card, the frame, and any
associated peripheral equipment for signs of trouble.
2.
Power Check
Check the power indicator LED on the distribution frame front
panel for the presence of power. If the power LED is not illuminated, verify that the
power cable is connected to a power source and that power is available at the power
main. Confirm that the power supplies are fully seated in their slots. If the power
LED is still not illuminated, replace the power supply with one that is verified to
work.
3.
Reset the Card in the Frame — Eject the card and re-insert it in the frame.
4.
Check Control Settings — Refer to the Installation and Operation sections of the
manual and verify all user-adjustable component settings.
5.
Input Signal Status
Verify that source equipment is operating correctly and that a
valid signal is being supplied.
6.
Output Signal Path
Verify that destination equipment is operating correctly and
receiving a valid signal.
7.
Card Exchange
Exchanging a suspect card with a card that is known to be
working correctly is an efficient method for localizing problems to individual cards.
