Troubleshooting guidelines
When a problem arises with the CTS, test the CTS before performing
any maintenance procedures to determine the problem and possible
solutions. Follow these troubleshooting guidelines:
1.
Make sure the troubleshooting environment meets the static
protection requirements listed on page 1-2. Failure to use these
static protection methods may cause severe damage to the CTS.
2.
Use a known good power supply for each CTS under test to
verify operation and to eliminate any outside influences on the
test. Verify that all power to the test area is clean and free of
feedback or inductive spikes. Also verify that the power supply
connector is making good contact.
Power problems will typically cause a high percentage of
rewrites or error correction code (ECC)—or extreme difficulty
getting known good CTSs to pass the tests consistently.
3.
Run EXPERT software tests to help you determine specific
problems with the CTS. Refer to the EXPERT User’s Guide for
instructions.
To ensure accuracy and consistency when testing a string of
CTSs, start all CTSs at the same time and run them without
interruption to completion.
