Troubleshooting

Problems with the CC1

Problems with the CC1 as part of a 9770 system may occur in the following areas:

The CC1 itself

Setup files (also known as configuration files)

Peripheral devices connected to the CC1

DOS operating system

A log is recommended for keeping track of changes made to the system. The log should document the change made, why it was made, the date it was made, and the person responsible for the change. This log will help in troubleshooting any errors that may occur. It also makes it easier to identify errors that might have been caused by the change from other types of errors.

The VCC Card CF LED Is Illuminated and the AUX LED Is Blinking

Problem: The LED labeled “CF” on the CM9770-VCC Video Input card is illuminated, and the LED labeled “AX” is flashing one short blink (quarter- second rate) and one long blink (one-second rate).

Solution: This indicates that communication with the primary CM9770-VMC card has failed. Make sure that a CM9770-VMC card is inserted into slot 10 and is working properly.
