Scanner Diagnostic LED Indication 
The scanner uses its LED to communicate diagnostic information. These diagnostics are a subset of the main CPU’s 
and are listed below. 
Table 29 – Scanner LED Diagnostics 
RAM or ROM failed diagnostics on 
power-up. 
Executes an infinite loop that toggles the LED. 
Communications and module scanning are 
disabled. Module outputs are in the power-off 
state -- DO outputs are off, and AO outputs 
are at zero milliamps. 
2.  Replace scanner 
3.  Replace rack 
4.  Check grounding 
5.  Ensure system is properly 
isolated from noise
