System Troubleshooting
Chapter Objective This section describes how to interpret and correct problems with the
RAC6185 Industrial Flat Panel Monitor (6185-F).
Self-Test Rockwell Automation provides a self-test feature for verifying that your
monitor is running correctly.
If the monitor and computer are property connected but the monitor remains
dark and the power indicator is blinking, run the self-test.
Running the Self Test
1. Power down the computer and monitor.
2. Unplug the video cable from the back of the computer.
3. Power up the monitor.
If the monitor is functioning properly, you will see a white box with a
red border that reads “Check Signal Cable.” This is the self-test box.
Three smaller boxes (red, green, and blue) appear inside the border. If
any of these boxes do not appear, this indicates a problem.
4. Power down your monitor and reconnect the video cable; then turn on
both your computer and the monitor.
5. If your monitor screen remains blank after the previous procedure,
check your video controller and computer system because your monitor
is functioning properly.
IMPORTANT
This self-test box also appears during normal operation if
the monitor is disconnected or damaged.
