TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE

7

We have carefully tested and have found no 
problems in the supplied 

MT100-108

; however, we 

would like to offer suggestions for the following:

7.1  CARD CAGE IS NOT WORKING 

Cause 1:

Card cage is not plugged in.

Solution:

Plug the card cage in. If the card 
cage works, the problem is solved. If 
the card still does not work, see 
Cause 2.

Cause 2:

The input power voltage is 
incorrect.

Solution:

Make sure that the input power 
range is within 85-264VAC and also 
make sure that the power is 
connected to the input power 
connector. If there is still a problem, 
call ALTINEX at (714) 990-2300.

7.2  CARD IS NOT WORKING

Cause 1:

Card cage slot has a problem.

Solution 1:

Test a card in other slots of the card 
cage. If the slot was damaged, the 
card may work in other slots. If other 
slots work, the problem is the card 
cage slot. The card cage may 
require service. Call ALTINEX at 
(714) 990-2300. If the other slots do 
not work, see Solution 2.

Solution 2:

Take any other known good card 
with an LED and verify that the slot 
used is good by seeing if the other 
card’s LED lights in that slot. If it 
lights, then the original card may be 
the source of the problem. Call 
ALTINEX at (714) 990-2300. If the 
original card was not the source of 
the problem, see Cause 2.

Cause 2:

Card is not plugged in all the way.

Solution 1:

Push the card in all the way. If the 
card still does not work, see 
Solution 2.

Solution 2: See the troubleshooting section of 

each the card's user guide or call 
ALTINEX at (714) 990-2300.
