Hardware Errors

The following table contains the hardware errors.

Alarm/Reference/Detail Description
Alarm: Qam Card <X>: I2c
eeprom
Ref: Eeprom comms failure
Detail: (see description)

The System Controller/Input Board failed to communicate with the
EEPROM device on the QAM card in question. The board should be
left for at least 1 minute to see if the error clears. If after 1 minute the
alarm still persists then the card should be removed and re-inserted
again. If this action does not clear the alarm then a Scientific Atlanta
representative should be contacted. This alarm clears when the
communication is established with the device.
<X> represents the card number. The detail will indicate the I2c error
that has been detected.

Alarm: Qam Card <X>: I2c
qamlm80
Ref: Qam QamLm80 comms
failure
Detail: (see description)

The System Controller/Input Board failed to communicate with the
LM80 device on the QAM card in question. The board should be left
for at least 1 minute to see if the error clears. If after 1 minute the
alarm still persists then the card should be removed and re-inserted
again. If this action does not clear the alarm then a Scientific Atlanta
representative should be contacted. This alarm clears when the
communication is established with the device.
<X> represents the card number. The detail will indicate the I2c error
that has been detected.

Alarm: Qam Card <X>:
Qamlm80 status
Ref: Qam Lm80 not
monitoring
Detail: (see description)

There was a communication failure and the LM80 is not returning
monitoring information. The QAM card should be left for at least 1
minute to see if the error clears. If after 1 minute the alarm still
persists then the card should be removed and re-inserted again. If this
action does not clear the alarm then a Scientific Atlanta representative
should be contacted. This alarm clears when the communication is
established with the device.
<X> represents the card number. The detail will indicate the I2c error
that has been detected.

Alarm: Qam Card <X>: Misc
Ref: Qam 7K64 comms
failure
Detail: (see description)

The System Controller/Input Board has failed to communicate with
the FPGA device on the Quad Channel QAM Card in question. The
board should be left for at least 1 minute to see if the error clears. If
after 1 minute the alarm still persists then the card should be removed
and re-inserted again. If this action does not clear the alarm then a
Scientific Atlanta representative should be contacted. This alarm
clears when the communication is established with the device.
<X> represents the card number. The detail will indicate the I2c error
that has been detected.

Alarm: Qam Card <X>: I2c
dac
Ref: Qam Dac comms failure
Detail: (see description)

The System Controller/Input Board has failed to communicate with
the DAC device on the QAM card in question. The board should be
left for at least 1 minute to see if the error clears. If after 1 minute the
alarm still persists then the card should be removed and re-inserted
again. If this action does not clear the alarm then a Scientific Atlanta
representative should be contacted. This alarm clears when the
communication is established with the device.
<X> represents the card number. The detail will indicate the I2c error
that has been detected.
