1 PREFACE
1.1 PURPOSE OF THIS MANUAL
This document deals with what to do with the outcome of the CDAS self-test.
The following outcomes are dealt with:
CDAS TXR board test, result: 'Stopped'
PFEI tests, result: 'Errors'
CDAS TXR board test, result: 'Error'
CDAS RX board test, result: 'Error'
GCI2 board test, result: 'Error'
In the corresponding chapters, you can find what to do when such a message appears. The information is
given in the way of faultfinding procedures.
Tip: during faultfinding, mark the "Yes" or "No" after each answered question.
In this way, you record the steps in your faultfinding process. This can be important if you consult other
engineers or have to escalate a problem to a next support level.
If you read 'problem solved' in one of the faultfinding procedures this means: the problem of that faultfinding
procedure has been solved. So, the problem with which the faultfinding procedure starts has been solved.
In the faultfinding procedures in this document, the assumption is that only one problem occurs at the same
time. If you solved one problem and another problem remains, use another relevant faultfinding procedure to
solve this problem.
Faultfinding and consequently parts replacements and/or adjustment & verification, are essential elements in
this process. For optimal continuity and cost effectiveness in the operation of the system, the 80-20 rule is be
used.
In approximately 80% of the cases, the problems should be solved by field service. This should be done by
the field service engineer (FSE) himself with the help of the available service documentation.
In approximately 20% of the cases, problems are not solvable and/or cannot be allocated within a limited
period. These faults can only be allocated together with dedicated support and/or assistance of specialists.
The goal of this document is to provide faultfinding procedures for the problems that occur in 80% of the
cases. The faultfinding procedures end with the replacement of an FRU, an adjustment or the advice to
escalate the problem to a next support level.
1.5 COMPATIBILITY
This document applies to all systems with a CDAS and a PFEI,
however, not for CDAS PFEI boards with the multi-nuclei option.
Screenshots of testresults are based on release R3, content for R5 is identical, only lay out is different.
For that reason, no new screenshots are added in this document.
NOTE
________________
For certain software versions/option types, the CDAS and PFEI boards have to be of certain 12 NCs,
see table below.
For CDAS and PFEI boards not in the table below, there are no requirements.
NOTE
________________
NOTE
In case of structural communication link errors between CDAS and PFEI unit the TXR and
CFINT1/3 board can be exchanged for TXR-V2 (4522 117 9725.x) and CFINT-4 (4522 117 9812.x).
Keep in mind that also a new fiber (4522 133 0496.x) should be installed!
This chapter describes the faultfinding procedure to be performed when the CDAS-TXR board test
reports 'Stopped' (Figure 1). If the test CDAS-TXR board test ONLY reports 'Error', see chapter 6.
NOTE
The CDAS self-test has to be performed approximately 2 minutes for systems < R5 and
4 minutes for systems ≥ R5 after the CDAS has been powered OFF and ON.
________________
NOTE
The system has to be cabled according to the TPD and has to be powered ON completely
before performing the CDAS self-test.
________________
START faultfinding procedure after the message: 'Stopped' as a result of the TXR board test. (After the CDAS selftest).
