HP 16500B - Manual (Page 121)

The System Configuration Menu
When the power-up routine is complete and the HP 16500B is operational, the System
Configuration menu is displayed. The names of the installed modules appear in fields on the
left side of the display. The fields correspond to the slot into which the module is installed.
UNRECOGNIZED MODULE
If a module field appears with the label UNRECOGNIZED MODULE, then the operating
system of the module was not uploaded from the disk drive into system RAM. One of three
things can cause an unrecognized module: the operating system file is not on the disk drive,
the operating system file is corrupted, or there is not enough RAM memory in the mainframe.
Insufficient RAM memory shows up as a number of recognized modules grouped together in
the lower slots of the mainframe or expansion frame with recognized modules in the upper
slots.
Touchscreen power-up test failed
If the touchscreen power-up self test found the touchscreen operation impaired, then a
red-bar error message "Touchscreen power-up test failed" appears at the top of the screen.
This is not a fatal error and only communicates that the touchscreen will operate with a
minimal loss of functionality.
Master Frame
If the label Master Frame appears in a blue field, then an expansion frame is recognized and
up to five more modules are present. The modules in the expansion frame can be seen by
touching the field labeled Master Frame. If the label Master Frame appears as text only, then
the HP 16500B mainframe does not recognize an expansion frame.
Ethernet
If an HP 16500L interface module is installed, the HP 16500B can be configured to work with
an Ethernet network. Network statistics can be viewed by touching the field configuration
labeled Ethernet in the Communications menu of the System Configuration menu, then
touching Ethernet Statistics. Refer to the manuals for the HP 16500L interface module for
more information.
