The chassis does not power up
If the chassis or a module does not appear to power up, check the
following:
• The circuit breakers at the rear of the chassis are set to the right, which
is the ON position.
• The AC power cords are connected to a working power source.
• The electrical circuits are not overloaded. Check the combined power
requirements of all equipment on the same circuit.
• There are no empty slots in the chassis. Leaving slots empty can
overheat the inserted modules, causing them to shut down.
Module is exceptionally hot
• Check that the vent holes on the chassis are not blocked.
• Check that a filler panel module or an instrument module is installed
into empty slots on either side of an instrument module.
