Diagnosis and Maintenance

Other fault analysis information

2.2 Diagnosis

The MO drive has an initial self-diagnosis function, which checks the normal basic operation of the MO drive.

Initial self-diagnosis function

When the power is turned on, the MO drive executes initial self-diagnosis, which includes a basic test of hardware functions.

If an error is detected during self-diagnosis, the LED on the front panel of the MO drive blinks. The status can be cleared by turning the power off and then on again. When this status is cleared, the MO drive re-executes the initial self-diagnosis.

2.3Troubleshooting Method

The system-level troubleshooting steps listed below are performed for determining if the fault is caused by an MO drive unit or caused by a system. The steps should be performed by customers on-site.

Item

Recommended procedure

 

 

MO cartridge

Check that a recommended MO cartridge is loaded and the surface

 

of the disk is free from dirt or scratches.

 

 

AC adapter

Check whether power indicator on the device side has lighted up

 

before connecting the device between host computer with the USB

 

cable.

 

 

Interface cable connection

Check that the interface cable is correctly connected to the MO

 

drive.

 

 

System cable

Check that all cables in the system are correctly connected.

 

 

System diagnosis test

Execute the system level diagnostic routines given in the host

 

computer manual to further isolate the fault, if possible.

 

 

Intermittent or indefinite error

Replace the MO drive if possible. If the faulty condition continues

 

after the replacement, the fault will not be caused by the MO drive.

 

Refer to the provided hardware and software manuals about the

 

system further, for clues of identifying cause of the failure.
