5. Maintenance

Maintenance of the StackMaster™TR 16-Port Stack is required only when a StackMaster™TR 16-Port unit fails. Recovery of a failed StackMaster™TR 16-Port unit requires fault isolation, using methods provided in this section, and corrective action. Corrective action is taken by simple procedures described in this section or by contacting TRANSITION Networks Technical Support.

5.1 Fault Isolation

Use Table 5-1 for troubleshooting the StackMaster™TR 16-Port Stack. Table 5-1 presents a list of faults and probable causes, presented in the order of increasing probability, with suggested remedial action.

To use Table 5-1, locate the problem in the FAULT column. In the PROBABLE CAUSE box next to the fault, find one or more probable cause(s) associated with the fault. Examine each probable cause in turn, beginning at the top. When the probable cause is identifed, take the associated corrective action in the CORRECTIVE ACTION column.
