5.4 SUBASSEMBLY TROUBLESHOOTING

Once you have positively identified a problem with the Controller, it will be necessary to troubleshoot the problem to the assembly level, and replace the faulty assembly.

5.4.1 IDENTIFYING THE FAULTY ASSEMBLY

A problem or fault must be traced to one of the subassemblies of the Controller. As a general rule, it is best to chec k the sub assemblies in order according to their respective expected failure rates, keeping in mind the failure symptoms. Therefore it is generally recommended that the boards be checked in the following order:

1) the PSU board,

2) one or more of the boards that plugs into the Main Board, or

3) the Main Board itself.

IMPORTANT:

The procedures to identify in which component the problem lies may be used to verify the operation of the indicated subassembly. If operation of any particular subassembly cannot be verified, replace the entire subassembly – do not attempt componentlevel repair.

6.4.2.4 NIB Firmware Update FAQs

Can I use a standard LAN connection between my computer and the Controller to perform the update instead of the cross-connect cable?

A1 Probably - the answer depends upon the configuration of your LAN. The

cross-connect cable ensures a ‘clean’ LAN connection between the NIB and the computer. Although every effort has been made to prevent potential conflicts through proper design of the utilities, a server on the LAN could interfere with the operation of MAP, the FTP Download program, the NIB, or some combination of the above. A cross-connect cable eliminates a lot of variables and allows for a quick and easy way to perform the update.

Can I use some other utility on my PC besides MAP and a web browser to set an IP address in the Controller?

A2 Yes, you can use the BootP program supplied on the Installation CD.

Instructions for how to use the BootP program are located in the section entitled

BootP Lite in a Windows environment

in Chapter 4 of the Controller User’s Guide. The program has the advantage of allowing you to set the IP address without knowing the NIB password. However, you must know the NIB’s network hardware address, so you may find it more complicated to use. In addition, it will not allow you access to the NIB to print a status page.

How do I check to see if my computer is set up to communicate via the IPX/SPX and TCP/IP protocols?

A3 For instructions on checking for the IPX/SPX compat ibility, see

to a Peer-to-Peer Ethernet Network

in Chapter 2 of the Controller User’s

Connecting

Guide. TCP/IP is very similar, but has some additional variables that may need to be set. There is nothing fancy about either installation to support this procedure – basically, the LAN card in the computer just needs to be bound to these two protocols. If in doubt, see your System Administrator for details on setting up your computer.

Can I do the procedure without a PRIPORT?

A4 The PRIPORT is used in this procedure only to print a NIB Status Page.

You will be able to communicate with the Controller, perform the update, and verify that the new Controller firmware revision has been installed using just the required software. However, you will not be able to verify any other aspects of Controller/PRIPORT operation. In addition, the NIB Status Page provides a convenient method for keeping track of all changes made to NIB setup.

CAUTION

6.5.1 MEMORY (SIMM) BOARD INSTALLATION

6.5.1.1 General guidelines for installing memory in the controller.

1) The controller must have at least the minimum/standard amount of

memory installed, as specified under the Printer Features section of the Controller User’s Guide, in order to function correctly.

2) The controller must have a SIMM board installed in slot 1.

6.5.1.2 Outline for Memory Upgrades

1) Remove any existing/already installed SIMMs.

2) Install existing and new SIMMs per the SIMM-slot placement rules.

Page 72

30 April, 1999 UPGRADING CONTROLLER RAM

6.5.1.3 SIMM-slot placement rules.

6.5.1.3.1 Case 1: After removing any existing SIMM(s), a total of one SIMM is to be installed.

This situation would occur if, for example, you were to replace a partiallyor non-functioning SIMM with a new one. In this situation, simply

substitute a new SIMM for the existing one, using only slot 1

. The new SIMM must meet or exceed the minimum memory requirements for your controller. For the sake of future upgrade compatibility, if the new SIMM is of the single-sided configuration (see Figure 6.5.1.3.5-1), it should have a PD (Presence Detect) jumper installed.

6.5.1.3.2 Case 2: After removing any existing SIMM(s), two SIMMs are to be installed, at least one of which is a double-sided SIMM (see Figure

6.5.1.3.5-2).

In this configuration, the double-sided SIMM board must be installed into slot 1. This is regardless of respective memory sizes of the SIMM boards –

the double-sided board always goes into slot 1

. If both SIMMs

are double-sided, it does not matter which one goes into which slot.

6.5.1.3.3 Case 3: After removing any existing SIMM(s), two single-sided SIMMs are to be installed (see Figure 6.5.1.3.5-1).

This configuration could occur if, for example, you wanted to simply add a second SIMM to the controller’s factory-shipped configuration. In this case,

jumper installed

the single-sided SIMM to be installed into slot 2 must have a PD

6.5.1.3.4 Unsupported Memory Configurations

Memory configurations not listed under the rules above are not supported, or will not yield the correct amount of memory for the controller. This includes any combina tion of boards which:

1) Does not yield the minimum amount of memory needed by the

controller.

2) Utilizes 1 or 2 Mbyte SIMMs.

3) Utilizes a single-sided SIMM in slot 2 that does not have a PD jumper

installed. If you believe your memory configuration is supported, but it is not yielding the correct amount of memory, see the Section 6.5.3 on

6.5.1.4 Protecting SIMM Boards SIMM-slot placement rules.

SIMM boards can be easily damaged by small amounts of static electricity. To remove any static electricity from your body:

• Touch the surface of the antistatic package before removing the board from its package. When handling the board, frequently touch bare metal on the printer or the antistatic bag or wear an antistatic wrist strap.

• Avoid moving about the work area to prevent generating static electricity.

• Handle the board carefully at all times. Avoid flexing it or touching its components.

When removing a board from the antistati c package, avoid touching th e metal traces on the SIMM board through handling only by the edges.

6.5.1.5 Installing SIMM Boards SIMM-slot placement rules.

The following section describes procedures to remove the controller’s top cover and insert a SIMM board.

6.5.1.5.1 Accessing the SIMM Slots.

1. Remove the top cover of the controller - see Section 6.2.2.

2. Locate the memory SIMM memory slots. Note the location of slot 1. If only one SIMM is present, it is always located in slot 1.

Figure 6.5.1.5.1 Locating SIMM slot 1.

Gently

push down on the metal locking tabs while rotating the board toward the back of the slot - shown as rotating down and to the left in Figure 6.5.1.5.2-2 - until it clears the metal tabs. As it may take two hands to hold down the metal locking tabs on both sides of the board simultaneously, you may want to call for another person to assist you in this process.

3. Remove the existing SIMM and place into an antistatic bag.

5. If another SIMM is to be installed (i.e., slot 1), simply repeat these installation steps.

6.5.1.5.4 Finishing up.

1. Replace the top cover – See Section 6.3.5.

2. Connect the Controller to a PRIPORT.

3. Power on the PRIPORT.

4. Plug in the power cord and switch the Controller ON.

6.5.2 TESTING A MEMORY UPGRADE

The simplest way to test a memory upgrade performed on the controller is to do the following:

Figure 6.5.2-1. ‘Ready to Print’ status light condition.

1) Check status lights on the controller front panel. After performing a power-on self check, the controller should show the status light condition for “Ready to print”, as shown in Figure 6.5.2-1. (See Section 5.6, complete listing as to what conditions are indicated by the status lights, and how to interpret them.)

2) Print a Diagnostic Test Page and note the area on the report which states the amount of memory available to the printer, as shown in Figure 6.5.2-2.

LED Status Light Sequence and Conditions

Figure 6.5.2-2. Using the Diagnostic Test Page to verify correct

memory installation.

Printing this page verifies that the; a) Controller is able to communicate with the PRIPORT, b) memory installation was done correctly, c) amount of memory you installed is what you expected, and d) memory is functioning correctly.

If the test page does not indicate the correct amount of memory, or there is some other problem, proceed with the Section 6.5.3).

6.5.3 TROUBLESHOOTING A MEMORY UPGRADE

A memory upgrade/installation can fail for several reasons:

1) In a two-memory-board installation, a single-sided memory card has been installed into slot 1 that does not have a PD jumper.

2) A memory board is not seated properly when installed.

3) Memory is installed corre ctly bu t is of insufficient size.

4) One or both of the memory boards has failed.

Check the following tables for the symptom you are experiencing to identify a course of action.

Symptom Most Probable Causes What to do

Diagnostic Test

The

Page

indicates that the controller is recognizing memo ry, but it is not of the expected size.

1) The SIMM installed in slot 1 is not a

double-sided memory card

Procure a SIMM that is double-sided and install into slot 1.

2) The SIMM installed in slot 2 is not seated properly

3) The installed SIMM(s) has (have) a memory size that is

actually

it’s specification.

Table 6.5.3-1. Troubleshooting – Incorrect Diagnostic Test Page.

smaller than

Properly re-install the SIMM in slot 2.

a) Check to make sure the

board part numbers are correct for the SIMM size. If not, obtain and install the correct ones for the desired memory size.

b) The SIMM could have a

fault in which it only reports part (for example, one-half) of the memory for which it is rated. In this case, the board must be returned to the vendor for replacement.

Page 82

30 April, 1999 UPGRADING CONTROLLER RAM

Symptom Most Probable Causes What to do

The controller status lights indicate a controller unit failure.

1) The SIMM in slot 1 is not seated correctly.

2) The SIMM in slot 1 is at fault.

3) Total memory being reported is less than the standard memory configuration for your controller.

Properly re-install the SIMM in slot 1.

If you have a SIMM in slot 2 and it has a memory size sufficiently large for the standard memory requirements of your controller, try installing it in the slot 1 position. If the controller responds positively to this, you probably have a faulty SIMM, which must be returned to the vendor for replacement.

a) The combination of SIMMs

yields a size under the standard memory configuration for your controller. You must install the minimum amount of memory so the controller will function.

b) SIMMs in either slot do not

report the correct amount of memory available to the controller. Try swappi ng the SIMMs from slot 1 to 2 to see if the controller will give a ‘ready to print’ status. If it will not, and you are sure the SIMMs are of the correct size, they are probably defective and must be returned to the vendor for replacement.
