Initial Power-Up Tests
3. Insert the cards fully, one by one, similar cards in adjacent card slots, so that
the installation takes a logical appearance with a uniform Numbering Plan (i.e.,
the first line card fully inserted is assigned the first available line numbers by
the Numbering Plan).
Gently slide the card straight into the card slot. A slight resistance is felt as the
multi-pin connectors on the circuit card meet mating connectors on the
backplane and engage. Push against the extractor levers until the front panel of
the card is flush with the front frame of the card cage. Do not force the circuit
card into the slot. If more than slight resistance is encountered, remove the
circuit card and examine the connectors for bent pins or interfering debris.
4. The red diagnostic LED on the front panel (near the top of the card) should
illuminate on all cards. The LED remains illuminated steadily until the card
receives a card database from the system. After a few seconds, the LED should
extinguish. The extinguished diagnostic LED indicates that the card has been
properly initialized.
If the LED remains on steadily for more than two or three minutes, either there
is a conflict with the system database or the card may be faulty. Refer to the
Coral Service and Peripheral Cards Installation Manual for further details on
LED indication.
5. Attach the Program Interface (PI) device cable to the KB0 programming port
connector on front panel of MCP-ATS if not already attached. The installation
of Shared Service and Peripheral Interface cards into a Coral system has
considerable impact on the system database. Refer to the Program Interface &
Database Reference Manual for more information. Using the PI, verify that
each of the parameters detailed below contain the appropriate information.
6. Verify that the cards are identified properly in the Card List (Route: CLIS)
branch of the system database. Both i_type and p_type fields should show the
required card name. In addition, an ACTIVE message in the status field
indicates that the card has been properly initialized. If the i_type field lists a
different card type or a CARD REPLACED message appears in the status
field, then the card slot has been previously initialized by a different card type.
That card must be relocated to a clear card slot (i_type field shows
NO_CARD) or the current card slot assignment must be cleared. To clear the
card slot assignment, remove the card from its slot, enter NO_CARD in the
i_type field, then reinsert the card and verify that it initializes as described
above.
A status field display of NO_RESOURCES indicates that the system Sizes are
insufficient to support the card.
