9433-EMDE Processing Error Troubleshooting
9433EMDE-75-110-OM (V1.6)
Failures of a general nature (affecting many cards and/or functions
simultaneously), or gross inoperability errors are best addressed first by
performing basic checks before proceeding further. Table 3-2 provides basic
system checks that typically locate the source of most general problems. If
required and applicable, perform further troubleshooting in accordance with
the other troubleshooting tables in this section.
On both the frame Network Controller Card and the 9433-EMDE, in all cases
when power is being properly supplied there is always at least one indicator
illuminated. Any card showing no illuminated indicators should be cause for
concern.
Make certain all cable connections are fully secure (including coaxial cable
attachment to cable ferrules on BNC connectors). Also, make certain all
connecting points are as intended. Make certain the selected connecting
points correlate to the intended card inputs and/or outputs. Cabling mistakes
are especially easy to make when working with large I/O modules.
Make certain all cards are properly seated within its frame slot. (It is best to
assure proper seating by ejecting the card and reseating it again.)
On both DashBoard™ and the 9433-EMDE card edge indicators, red
indications signify an error condition. If a status indicator signifies an error,
proceed to the following tables in this section for further action.
All cards within the frame can be hot-swapped, replacing a suspect card or
module with a known-good item.
Table 3-3 provides 9433-EMDE processing troubleshooting information. If
the 9433-EMDE card exhibits any of the symptoms listed in Table 3-3, follow
the troubleshooting instructions provided.
In the majority of cases, most errors are caused by simple errors where the
9433-EMDE is not appropriately set for the type of signal being received by
the card.
Note:
• The error indications shown below are typical for the corresponding error
conditions listed. Other error indications not specified here may also be dis-
played on DashBoard™ and/or the 9433-EMDE card edge status indicators.
• Where errors are displayed on both the 9433-EMDE card and network
remote controls, the respective indicators and displays are individually
described in this section.
