Appendix A - Troubleshooting and Maintenance
This Appendix describes basic troubleshooting techniques, as well as instructions for the
maintenance of the PXIe-62780 chassis.
A�1 Installation Problems
Inability to start the system frequently results from incorrect installation of the system
controller, peripheral modules, and other components. Before starting the system, please
ensure that:
• The system controller is properly installed and secured
• All peripheral modules are properly seated on the slots
• All cables are properly connected to the system controller and peripheral modules
• All installed peripheral modules are compatible for use in the chassis
• The power cord is securely plugged into the chassis power connector and power
outlet/wall socket/power strip
If the system fails to start when all installation conditions are met, remove all installed
peripheral modules and try again. If the system starts normally, install one peripheral
module at a time followed by powering up. You may also try installing the modules into
different slots until the desired result is obtained.
