Important
With the exception of “spare” modules, if the DX-700
determines that any modules are incorrectly installed (or
missing), a
Startup Diagnostic Menu appears which
prompts you to power down the DX-700 and re-configure your
modules properly.
If the above prompt occurs, and provided that a System
Module is properly installed, on the
Startup Diagnostic
Menu
you will be able to press the {DX-700 Management}
button, and access a subset of management functions. In
Chapter 4, refer to the “
Power-Up Initialization” section on
page 77 for details.
Important
The DX-700 will not recognize modules that are installed to
the left of a blank panel. They will be treated as spares.
Refer to the “
Storing Spare Modules” section on page 59 for
additional details.
Important
Multi-bank configurations are currently not implemented.
Important
For proper chassis cooling, slots that do not contain
input or output modules must always have blank panels
installed.
