Power-up Diagnostics
The CoreBuilder 9400 system runs diagnostic
software at power up. This software verifies that the
system works before you add it to the network.
If any component fails during power-up diagnostics,
the system fails to power up.
During power up, the system and port status LEDs
provide information about the CoreBuilder 9400
system. See Figure 1 in Chapter 1 for the location of
the LEDs.
To view error messages that are displayed during
power-up diagnostics, connect a terminal,
workstation, or PC that has terminal emulation to the
system’s Console port. See Chapter 3.
