In addition, the errors are reported on the system error log (see page 38 for instructions on how to print the error log). Read the error messages and system error log to determine whether the fault lies in the hardware or firmware. These problems can be repaired by board replacement or unit exchange. Do not attempt component-level board repair.

Power-On Self Test (see page 65)

This is invoked whenever the system is switched on.

Performance Assurance Tests

Self Test

The monitor automatically performs a basic-level self test when you switch it on. There are

 

two possible types of error that you might see. A fatal error prevents the monitor from

 

functioning. A non-fatal error allows you to continue to work but warns you of a problem

 

thatlmust be resolved swiftly.
