Basic Troubleshooting Checks
Failures of a general nature (affecting many cards and/or functions
simultaneously), or gross inoperability errors are best addressed first by
performing basic checks before proceeding further. Table 3-3 provides basic
system checks that typically locate the source of most general problems. If
required and applicable, perform further troubleshooting in accordance with
the other troubleshooting tables in this section.

Item Checks
Verify power presence and
characteristics • On both the frame Network Controller Card and the 9071, in all cases when power is
being properly supplied there is always at least one indicator illuminated. Any card
showing no illuminated indicators should be cause for concern.
• Check the Power Consumed indications for both the +12 V and -7.5 V supply rails
for the 9071 card. This can be observed using the DashBoard™ Card Info pane.
• If either of the rail supplies show no power being consumed, either the frame
power supply, connections, or the 9071 card itself is defective.
• If either of the rail supplies show excessive power being consumed (see
Technical Specifications (p. 1-10) in Chapter 1, “Introduction”), the 9071 card
may be defective.
Check Cable connection
secureness and connecting
points Make certain all cable connections are fully secure (including coaxial cable attachment
to cable ferrules on BNC connectors). Also, make certain all connecting points are as
intended. Make certain the selected connecting points correlate to the intended card
inputs and/or outputs. Cabling mistakes are especially easy to make when working
with large I/O modules.
