Verify the Operation of the E8718A
Follow the steps below to verify the basic operations of the E8718A:
1
Connect a power cord to the AC power inlet at the rear of the E8718A.
2
Switch on the power switch. You may apply 100 to 240 V, 50/60 Hz AC single
phase (300 W maximum). Immediately you should hear the sound of the
system fan and see the Power LED on the front panel light up.
3
Wait for about one to two minutes for the E8718A to fully boot-up. You may
verify this by connecting a monitor to the VGA port located at the rear of the
E8718A.
4
Try sending a command to the E8718A through your PC. The Link LED on the
front panel should blink. This means that the E8718A is in stand-by mode and
is ready for use.
NOTE
For optimum performance, allow 30 minutes warm up time before use.
