Troubleshooting Plug-
in Modules
Replace the cable from the Satellite Rack to the function box. Again unplug 
and re-plug the BIS module and check if the LED lights up. If it does not, 
proceed with the following:
 Plug any other (not faulty) module into the same slot and check if the LED 
lights up. If the LED of the alternative module lights up, the BIS module is 
defect and has to be replaced. If it does not, either the rack or the rack interface 
card is defect. Proceed with the following:
 Replace the rack and plug in the BIS module into the new rack. If the LED on 
the module does not light up, replace the rack interface card in the function 
box.
