6.4 Fault-finding

6.4.1 Fault finding Philosophy

The objective of this chapter is to provide sufficient information to
enable the operator to rectify apparent faults or else to identify where
the suspect fault might be. It is assumed that fault-finding has already
been performed at a system level.
Warning: Do not remove the covers of this equipment. Hazardous
voltages are present within this equipment and may be exposed if the
covers are removed. Only Network trained and approved service
engineers are permitted to service this equipment.
Caution: Unauthorised maintenance or the use of non-approved
replacements may effect the equipment specification and invalidate any
warranties.
This manual does not provide any maintenance information or
procedures which would require to removal of covers.
If the following information fails to clear the abnormal condition, please
contact your local reseller or Network customer care.

6.4.2 Preliminary Checks

Always investigate the failure symptoms fully, prior to taking remedial
action. The operator should not remove the cover of the equipment to
carry out the fault diagnosis. The following fault-finding tasks can be
carried out:

o

Check that the PSU LED is lit. If this is not lit, replace external
equipment, power source and cables by substitution to check that

they are not defect.

o

Confirm that the equipment hardware configuration is suitable for

the purpose and has been correctly connected.

o

Confirm that inappropriate operator action is not causing the
problem, and that the equipment software set-up is capable of

performing the required functionality.

o

Check that the fans are unobstructed and working correctly.

When the fault condition has been fully investigated, and the symptoms
are identified, proceed to fault-finding according to the observed
symptoms. If the fault persists, and can not be rectified using the
instructions given in this manual, contact Network Customer Support.
Switch off the equipment if it becomes unusable, or to protect it from
further damage.
