Problem Analysis
Following is a list of problems you might encounter when you power up or re-initialize a MAXserver 1600.
The list includes descriptions of correct operations and possible solutions. (Procedures for the MAXserver
1608 are identical.)
Problem:
You are trying to load from a Memory card and the CARD light does not go ON.
-- or --
The CARD light goes ON and then OFF quickly.
Correct Operation:
The CARD light should illuminate for approximately 15 seconds when the MAXserver 1600 loads software
from a Memory card.
Possible solutions:
If the CARD light does not go ON, make sure that the card is inserted properly. Also, make sure that the
MAXserver 1600 is configured to load from the Memory card, using the ROM Configuration menu. (Refer
to Chapter 4.) By default, a MAXserver 1600 is configured to load from the card; however, someone
might have changed this setting.
If the CARD light goes ON and then OFF quickly, make sure that the Memory card has been initialized.
You can initialize a Memory card while it is inserted in the unit by issuing the FORMAT CARD
command. (For instructions, refer to Section 2.10.) Alternatively, if you have a PC with a Memory card
drive, you can check whether the SYSTEM directory is present on the card. The directory should contain
the software image; the file-name must be mx1500.sys. Also, the loader file mcffs1.sys must reside in
the same directory as mx1500.sys, and must appear before mx1500.sys.
