2. Loading Errors
These errors are displayed on the LCD display. Setup errors also appear on the terminal as
"blinking" messages.
If the 3494 stops during a program power-on or the software loading phase, the most
common problem is a loading error which is normally due to diskette problems such as:
Diskette contains incompatible software
•
Diskette is damaged or corrupted
•
Diskette is write protected
•
In these situations try replacing the operating system diskette with either a new copy or your
backup copy and reload the operating system.
2.1 Setup Errors
The message 'SETUP ERR' displayed on the front panel LCD display, can be caused by
two types of problems: card setup error, or incompatible setup file:
In case of a card setup error, the following message is displayed on all terminals:
CARDS SETUP ERROR: USE CONFIGURATION UTILITY TO CORRECT THE HARDWARE SETUP
This type of error is a hardware mismatch which can be worked around; you can still
configure the controller from the main menu by doing the following:
1. Be sure the controller is booted via the UTIL option and select the following menus:
Device configuration / Adapter configuration
2. Define the correct adapters installed in your controller; and reset the controller to enable
the changes.
In case of an incompatible setup file, the following message is displayed on all terminals:
INCOMPATIBLE SETUP FILE: USE CONFIGURATION UTILITY TO LOAD DEFAULT PARAMETERS
To resolve this type of error:
1. Be sure the controller is booted via the UTIL option and select the following menus:
