Checking 9084 Card Information

The operating status and software version the 9084 card can be checked using
the card edge control user interface or DashBoard™. Figure 3-7 shows and
describes the 9084 card information screen using DashBoard™ and accessing
card information using the card edge control user interface.

Note:

Proper operating status in DashBoard™ is denoted by green icons for the sta-
tus indicators shown in Figure 3-7. Yellow or red icons respectively indicate
an alert or failure condition. Refer to Troubleshooting (p. 3-34) for corrective
action.

Figure 3-7 9084 Card Info Utility

The Tree View shows the cards
seen by DashBoard™. In this
example, Network Controller
Card MFC-8310-N (serial
number ...8055) is hosting a
9084 card in slot 7.

Software Version Number
Refer to these numbers to check that documentation (such as
this manual) matches the card’s Software Release Number
and Software Build Number. Use these numbers also when
communicating to Cobalt

®

regarding this card.

Power Consumption and Temperature Displays

This display shows the power consumed by the 9084 for
both the +12V and -7.5V rails, as well as key device
temperatures.

Status Displays
These displays show the status
the signal being received by the 9084. Green Settings
icon shows that any changes made on DashBoard™
are sucessfully saved on the card’s memory.
