8.1 Guidelines
When attempting to diagnose a problem with an S600+:
 Remember to write down what steps you have taken.
 Note the order in which you remove components.
 Note the orientation of the components before you modify or
remove them.
 Read and follow all cautions in this manual.
Before you contact your local sales representative or technical support
with a problem, first check the following:
 Are all the modules seated correctly and the retaining screws
fastened?
 Is all the field wiring properly connected?
 Is the supply voltage correct?
When you are done troubleshooting, perform a warm start or cold start
(see Chapter 7, Startup).
If your local sales representative or technical support instructs you to
return the S600+, replace the troubled parts with spares and return the
troubled parts to the address given by the local sales representative or
technical support.
