The entire self-test takes approx. 1 second to execute. During execution, various LED’s will light and after the 1
second execution, all LED’s should be off. If a failure is detected, the RED LED’s will remain ON or will flash a
specific number of times to indicate what the failure is (see note below).
Note: To decode the flashing LED pattern and determine the cause of failure, follow these guidelines: The
LED’s flash two times per second. After they have flashed their code, there is a 2 second pause and the code is
repeated. Therefore, wait for the two second pause; then count the number of flashes until the next two second
pause. The number of flashes is used to look up the failing subtest (CODE) in
Tables 4-3-1 and 4-3-2.
PRECAUTION:
If self tests fail during the initial installation, be sure to reseat the controller board. Be sure it is fully seated into
the backplane connector and all Cables are securely attached.
