Diagnostics and Maintenance
Switcher status menus and error conditions, installed options, calibration, diagnostics, and logs.
- Switcher Status
  The status menus show information for various components of the frame.
- Switcher Logs
  Switcher logs can be used to identify and diagnose problems with the switcher. Use this information when contacting Ross Video Technical Support.
- Diagnostic Tests
  Diagnostics consist of a number of tests that are used to confirm the functionality of your equipment.
- Error Messages
  The switcher will show an error message on the control panel display when a problem is detected.
- Switcher Reset
  If required, the switcher can be reset to return it to a user-defined default setting (RState), or the factory default state. A reset can be performed for the entire switcher, or individual components, such as keys.
- Frame DIP Switches
  The DIP switches allow you to set default IP address and other diagnostic states.
- SDPE Installation
- CPU Installation
  - To Remove the CPU
    To install the new blade you must power off the frame and remove the old blade or blank plate from the slot.
  - To Install an SDPE Blade
    With the old blade removed, and the power still off and disconnected, you can install the new blade.

CPU Installation

The CPU provides the broad coordination between the switcher, the SDPE blades, and the Ultrix™ router, as well as the NFS storage. The WebUI interface as well as MaxConfig are served from the CPU.

To install the CPU you must power off the frame, remove the existing CPU, install the CPU, and power on the frame.

Important:

The CPU must be installed for the switcher to operate.
