System Board Diagnostics
Run system board diagnostics if you have a problem and the rear panel LEDs are not
as indicated in Table 3-1. To run system board diagnostics:
1. Quit all Profile System Software by selecting
Quit
or
Exit
from the File menu.
2. Wait approximately 30 seconds after all applications are shutdown.
3. From the Start menu choose Programs, PDR Debug Tools,
PDR Diagnostics
. The
Main Diagnostics window appears, but the test buttons are not active.
4. Click Yes in the Close Applications messages box. After a short time, the Main
Diagnostics test buttons become active.
You may get a message
Checking availability of VDR Services. Please wait
Wait approximately a minute for this message to clear from the screen before
proceeding.
The Main Diagnostics window is comprised of three panels. The panel on the left
contains buttons which identify the boards installed in each of the slots, J1 - J17.
Selecting a button brings up the test control buttons for that board’s diagnostics in the
upper right panel of the window and loads the i960 diagnostics program for that
board. Selecting one of the tests executes that test and test results are then shown in
the lower right panel of the diagnostics window.
5. Select the Master EDR button in the board slot ID region on the Main Diagnostics
window. Test control buttons for the Master EDR board appear.
Another window, called DRSTART momentarily appears and is then replaced by a
GDB960 window and i960 diagnostics is loaded into EDR memory. Test results will
appear in this window which remains open until you exit the Master EDR board
menu.
6. When a READY prompt appears in the GDB960 window, select the All Tests
button on the Master EDR board menu.
7. Observe the messages which appear in the GDB960 window. If any
**FAILED**
message appears, the EDR Master board is bad and needs to be replaced.
8. If no failures are noted, at the end of the tests, when READY re-appears, select
Done in the Master EDR board menu.
9. If you have a Slave EDR, repeat Steps 3 through 6 for the
Slave EDR
button.
10.From the Diagnostics menu bar, select Tests / All Board Tests .
This executes diagnostics for all installed boards. The All Board Tests diagnostic is
dependent on the Enhanced Disk Recorder boards previously tested. Fully loaded
systems take from 10 to 15 minutes to complete the tests. Once initiated, you cannot
cancel this diagnostics operation.
