1. If you just installed a microprocessor, verify that the microprocessor is installed
and seated correctly.
2. If the problem persists, check to see if the system has isolated the problem to a
microprocessor:
• If the System Error light on the operator information panel is on, check to
see if the CPU LED on the diagnostic LED panel is on. If it is on, check the
Microprocessor Error LEDs next to the microprocessor sockets.
— If a Microprocessor LED is on, run the diagnostic program for the
— If the microprocessor tests do not fail, call for service.
• If no error LED is on, the error logs in the Configuration/Setup Utility
program might provide additional information about the microprocessor
error.
