Failures of a general nature (affecting many devices and/or functions
simultaneously), or gross inoperability errors are best addressed first by
performing basic checks before proceeding further. Table 3-4 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 the BBG-1022-2FS, in all cases when power is being properly supplied
all indicators should be illuminated. Any device showing no illuminated
indicators should be cause for concern.
• Check the Power Consumed indication for the BBG-1022-2FS. This can be
observed using the Status front-panel or web UI pane.
• If display shows no power being consumed, either the frame power
supply, connections, or the BBG-1022-2FS itself is defective.
• If display shows excessive power being consumed (see Technical
Specifications (p. 1-15) in Chapter 1, "Introduction"), the BBG-1022-2FS
may be defective.
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 device inputs and/or outputs. Cabling
mistakes are especially easy to make when working with large I/O modules.
On BBG-1022-2FS front panel and web interface 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 devices can be hot-swapped, replacing a suspect device with a
known-good item.
