If a Problem Occurs
If you have a problem, first check all connections and power switches. If
connections are correct and switches are On, run the following diagnostics:
1. Open the
PDR Debug Tools
group.
2. Choose
PDR Diagnostics
. The Diagnostics window appears.
Note that when the Diagnostics window opens, the following message may appear:

Diagnostics program. If the message still remains, contact Grass Valley Group
Product Support (see front of manual).

Master EDR

message appears, the EDR Master board is bad and needs to
be replaced.
6. If no failures are noted, at the end of the tests, when
READY
re-appears,
choose
Done
in the Master EDR board menu.
7. Repeat Steps 3 through 6 for the Slave EDR board.
8. Repeat Steps 3 through 6 for the Fibre Channel board.
Note that one of the Fibre Channel board tests is a DMA test, which checks

boards. Because the DMA test waits for completion of the Fibre Channel
board initialization before proceeding, it may take a minute or more to
complete the DMA test.
Once you have checked the Master EDR, Slave EDR, and Fibre Channel
boards, run a system level confidence check.

All Board Tests
