Troubleshooting

If an issue persists after you complete a troubleshooting procedure, contact NI
technical support or visit ni.com/support.
Why Is the ACCESS LED Off When the Chassis Is On?
The LEDs may not light until the device has been configured in MAX. Before
proceeding, verify that the NI 5663E appears in MAX.
If the ACCESS LED fails to light after you power on the chassis, a problem may exist
with the chassis power rails, a hardware module, or the LED.
Caution
Applying external signals while the device is powered off may cause
damage.
1. Disconnect any signals from the module front panels.
2. Power off the chassis.
3. Remove the module from the chassis and inspect it for damage. Do not
reinstall a damaged device.
4. Reinstall the module in a different chassis slot.
5. Power on the chassis.
6. Verify that the device appears in MAX.
7. Reset the device in MAX and perform a self-test.
What Should I Do if the NI 5663E Doesn't Appear in MAX?
1. In the MAX configuration tree, expand Devices and Interfaces.
