6. TROUBLESHOOTING
This section addresses only those problems that can be corrected by replacing a removable
component such as a hard drive or battery, by replacing or reseating an external cable, or by
changing a configuration setting. Any other failure will require the tablet be returned to DRS
Tactical Systems.
For each problem that occurs with your ARMOR X7 computer, there are specific steps that will
isolate the problem to a failed component or to a configuration option that may be set
incorrectly. In many cases, a single action step will isolate or correct the problem. In others, a
troubleshooting flowchart with multiple actions may be needed.
Determine the Problem
Table 19 lists some possible symptoms pointing to problems with your ARMOR X7. It then
provides actions to correct a problem. In some cases, you will be directed to a troubleshooting
flow chart to further isolate the problem.
Use the Symptom and Problem Area columns to identify the problem you are having, then
follow any directions in the Action column or go to the indicated troubleshooting flowchart to
begin troubleshooting.
