Isolating problems

Isolating library power problems

1.

Ensure that the power cord is plugged in at the power supply and at the
electrical outlet, then turn library power ON. Feel for air that is flowing out of
the cooling fan grill on the rear of the library. Power is good if air is flowing
from the cooling fan grill.

2.

If power is not working:
a.

Plug the power cord into another electrical outlet.

b.

Plug another device into the outlet to test.

c.

If the outlet tests OK, try another power cord.

3.

If you verified that the electrical outlet and power cord works properly, but the
power supply is still failing, replace the library.

4.

If the power supply seems to be delivering power to the library; but air does
not flow from the power-supply cooling fan grill on the rear of the library,
replace the library.
