Chapter 3 Troubleshooting Problems
Motherboard/BIOS startup
A few seconds after startup, on the VGA monitor a black screen is displayed with
system information messages. This is the BIOS Power On Self Test (POST). Press
[F2] on the keyboard during this time to enter the BIOS settings pages. When the
BIOS POST completes, the Grass Valley Logo appeared on the screen. At that point
the Windows operating system begins to load.
If during the BIOS POST time a message appears that requires your input or if the T2
does not progress to Windows startup, it indicates a problem at the HDD/SSD (for
data), the SSD (for the system) or the motherboard level. To correct problems of this
nature, please try the followings.
Run "Load Setup Default" in the BIOS startup menu to recover BIOS.
When the names of HDD or SSD (for data) are not displayed in POST screen after
restart, check a status. Refer to "Media disk problems" on page 50 .
If the problem persists, contact Grass Valley Support.
Windows startup
After the motherboard startup processes complete the Windows operating system
starts up. Normally the Windows operating system completes its processes
automatically without the need to press keys or respond to messages. The T2 is set to
automatically log on without any input.
If the Windows startup screen does not proceed automatically or if a message appears
that requires your input, it indicates a problem at the operating system level. If the
problem cannot be corrected with a supported procedure (such as networking), the
Windows operating system is not operating as it should. To correct problems of this
nature, restore your system software. Refer to "Restoring to the factory default
condition" on page 37 .
T2 system startup
After the Windows operating system startup processes complete, the T2 system
startup processes begin. At first, message "preparing" appears. Following that, the T2
logo image appears. After this logo image, the CommandCenter is launched in the
normal mode.
These startup processes will take about 20 seconds.
If the system does not startup correctly, restore default settings using the Recovery
Software DVD. Refer to "Restoring to the factory default condition" on page 37 .
