MaxiLife Test Sequence and Error Messages

Run-Time Errors

During the normal usage of the PC Workstation (and at boot), MaxiLife continually monitors vital system parameters. These include: temperature errors, fan malfunctions, power voltage drops, board PLL problems and CPU problems.

If both the fan for disks and the I/O slot are not connected (both are runtime error 1), only the “Fan disk” will be displayed.

POWER 12V ERROR

Power supply unit has failed. Try the following:

 

 

1 Replace the power supply unit with a known working one

 

VCC CPU 1 ERROR

 

2 If the problem persists, replace the system board

1.Special cases: Board PLL = System board needs replacing. CPU error = Reset or power off the system to recover.

2.A retaining bar holds the airflow guide in place, dividing inside the chassis into two separate areas (processor and PCI slots) for better cooling.
