6-15

6 .21 .1 Refers to

Programs known to be assigned to tuner boards will be missing from the output.

6 .21 .2 Repetition of Alert

Missing programs.

6 .21 .4 Urgency

High

6 .21 .5 Cases Where Alert is Likely a Result of:

Outside influence or normal operation

If this alert is accompanied by other alerts, analyze the sum total of the alerts to determine a possible outside cause as there

may be some common problem which cannot be predicted here. This alert would not normally be expected. The UCrypt may

be installed in a dirty environment whereby the slots of the motherboard have become dirty and connections to tuner boards

are failing.

An Internal Issue

Dirty motherboard PCIe slot, bad PCIe slot, f/w issue, internal overheating.

6 .21 .6 Probable Causes

1. Dirty unit, defective PCIe slot contacts.
2. Failing tuner board.

6 .21 .7 Next Steps

1.  Power Cycle unit.
2.  Ensure fans are all functional.
3.  Ensure ambient air temperature is within specification.
