7. If the system boots up, isolate the problem by connecting peripheral
devices one at a time until the problem occurs. If the problem is
with a specific software package or driver, you may want to re-install
the software.
8. If there is a problem not related specifically to a software installation
or peripheral device, refer to the following troubleshooting
checklists.
The following are checklists of items that you may have overlooked.
If you are having problems during boot-up:
Are all connections secure?
Are the device drivers installed?
Are the jumpers on any add-in boards correctly positioned?
Is the RAM memory (DIMM) properly installed? You may want to
re-install it to ensure a good connection.
Has the Windows CE operating system been upgraded? If so, make
sure the procedure was successfully performed (refer to Chapter 15,
Managing User Applications).
If there is a problem after boot-up:
If you are running a software package, re-install the software.
If the problem is intermittent, you may have a loose connection.
Check all connections including any add-in cards. Check that the
memory module (DIMM) is fully installed.
Although the RAC6182 Industrial Computer has a regulated and
protected power supply, a transient voltage in the power line or
peripheral cable may cause a flickering display, unexpected reboots,
or a locked up system. If so, exit the application and start over.
