POSSIBLE CAUSES
Soft panel driver not
installed.
Communication problem with
Option-01T, 1260-100X
Carrier, or plug-in.
Local Bus daisy-chain
switches not closed.
Emergency reset function
activated
Please note that temporarily 1260-100X does not have an Option-
01T feature. It requires another module with an Option-01T to the
left-most of the group.
Try the following procedure if you have trouble operating the plug-
ins. If you still have difficulty, contact Racal Customer Support
Chapter 5: Product Support.
1. Turn off the VXIbus chassis power switch. Wait at least two
seconds, then turn it back on. The Fail LED on the left-most
1260-serier
Carrier
1260-Series module should illuminate, then go out within five
seconds. If it does, then proceed to step 2. If the Fail LED
does not illuminate when power is turned on, then go to step 6.
If the Fail LED illuminates, and stays on after five seconds,
then the Option-01T may be defective; contact Racal Customer
Support.
