Circuit Card

Description and Installation

Manually isolating and correcting faults

Problems are due to configuration errors that occur during installation or
hardware faults resulting from component failure during operation. See
“Symptoms and actions” on

page 422

for more information on problem

symptoms and required responses.

Isolate MSDL faults using the diagnostic tools described below:

1

Observe and list the problem symptoms; for example, a typical symptom
is a permanently lit LED.

2

If the LED flashes three times but the card does not enable, verify that
the card is installed in a proper slot.

3

Check that the address is unique; no other card in the system can be
physically set to the same device number as the MSDL.

4

If installation is correct and no address conflict exists, refer to “Newly
installed MSDL cards” on

page 419

or “Previously operating MSDL

cards” on

page 420

.

5

If the MSDL still does not operate correctly, contact your Nortel
representative.

Newly installed MSDL cards

Problems that occur during MSDL card installation usually result from
improperly installed, incorrectly addressed, or faulty cards.

If the LED on a newly installed MSDL does not flash three times after
insertion, wait 5 minutes, then remove and reinsert. If the LED still does not
flash three times, the card is faulty.
