board:

• Just before fully booting, a Loading bar will
appear at the bottom of the screen, showing
the percent of load that has completed.
• The Operating Status screen will appear.
After the Q5 has properly powered up, the following
sequence of events is indicative of proper communica-
tion to the analog and digital boards:
• The Analog and Digital I/O boards TX/RX lights
should be blinking.
• Each I/O board should have the power LED
lighted and the Active LED should be blinking.
• The first thing that should be checked when
troubleshooting the Q5 board is its powering
up sequence.
WHAT IF THE OPERATING STATUS SCREEN IS NOT
SHOWN
If the Operating Status screen is not shown, check the
following items:
1. If no LED's are lit, then check AC and DC pow-
er. Refer to the Power Supply section.
2. Check if the lighting of the LED's is occurring
as described in the What Should Occur When
Applying Powering section.
• If the powering up sequence contin-
ues to repeat without displaying the
Operating Status screen, then there
is a booting problem.
3. Check all plugged connectors for proper seat-
ing.
4. Check if an error message is displayed when
booting.
• Be sure to write down any error
messages exactly as they appear,
as well as the top line on the screen
where the message appears.
5. Check that the software is OK:
• Is the correct software installed?
• Did you just install new software?
