TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE

8

We have carefully tested and have found no 
problems in the supplied 

MT104-100/103

; however, 

we would like to offer suggestions for the following:

8.1  LED IS NOT ON

Cause 1:

Card cage is not plugged in.

Solution:

Plug card cage in. If the LED lights, 
the problem is solved. If the LED is 
still not on, see Cause 2.

Cause 2:

Card is not plugged in all the way.

Solution:

Push the card in all the way. If the 
LED is still not lit, see Cause 3.

Cause 3:

Card cage slot has a problem.

Solution 1:

Test the card in other slots of the 
card cage. If the slot was damaged, 
the card may work in other slots. If 
other slots work and the LED lights, 
the problem is the card cage slot. 
The card cage may require service. 
Call ALTINEX at (714) 990-2300. If 
the other slots do not work and the 
LED is still not on, see Solution 2.

Solution 2:

Take any other known good card 
with an LED.  Insert the good card 
into the slot in question.  If the LED 
lights, then the original card may be 
the source of the problem. Call 
ALTINEX at (714) 990-2300.

8.2  LED IS BLINKING RED

Cause 1:

The CPU on the card is not 
working properly.

Solution 1:

Look at the card and verify that 
there is no damage. If there is no 
damage, see Solution 2.

Solution 2:

Verify that all IC’s are seated in their 
sockets. If the LED is still blinking 
red, see Solution 3.

Solution 3:

Call ALTINEX at (714) 990-2300.
