6 IMB Troubleshooting Instructions

This section illustrates the steps needed to support troubleshooting. It seems that a common
issue is the failure for the ShowVault to connect to the SM, showing "missing" for the SM
version. In any case, BEFORE replacing an IMB or trying another, the user(s) needs to get a
Detailed Report from the ShowVault and send it to Doremi Technical Support with the serial
number of the ShowVault (S/N sticker on the back of the unit).

6.1 Check the Projector Version

This is to help determine if a new projector version is in use.

6.2 Check the Diagnostic Tool GUI for Errors

Check the Serial Number, Software Version, Firmware Version, and SM Version.

The color is to be asked too, as it has an important meaning:

o Black means that the value was read from the IMB.
o

Red

means that the value could not be read from the IMB and the last known

value is displayed.

6.3 Check the PCI-Express Connection

In a new Linux terminal, type: /doremi/sbin/mcsetup.out --get-serial (This command

tests path 1).

If the command returns a failure with "Mcore context", then it means the driver is not

running. This is likely an issue with the PCIe either not connected or not seen.

Have the PCIe cable unplugged and then replugged to see if it fixes the issue.

If the PCIe unplug doesn't fix it, try to have the ShowVault and projector re-booted once.

If this doesn't fix the problem, then go to Section 6.6 and get a Detailed Report.

Note: As long as this issue is not fixed, performing the following steps will lead to failure.
