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.

Input Signal Status

valid signal is being supplied.

6.

Output Signal Path

receiving a valid signal.

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.
