Overview
1Troubleshooting
The SONOLINE G20 system is equipped with the following tests, indicators, and
error/warning messages to aid in system diagnostics:
• Built in self test (BIST)
BIST provides system fault information that isolates a fault down to the field
replacement unit (FRU) level. The fault information is displayed on the screen when the
error occurs, stored in the error log and on the hard disk drive (HDD), and can be copied
to CD-ROM in delineated format for viewing on an external personal computer.
• Power on self test (POST)
POST tests the boot sequence of the system. The execution time of this test is 30
seconds. A progress bar is displayed on the screen while POST monitors the supply
voltages. The supply voltage LEDs are located on the software regulator unit; view
these LEDs to determine if the supply voltages are within specifications. POST can be
configured to run at each power on, daily, weekly, or off.
• LED indicators
The system is equipped with LEDs located on the I/O panel and the individual PCBs.
These LEDs indicate the state of the system, displaying whether different system
functions have passed or failed a test. An amber lit LED indicates a failure status and a
green lit LED indicates a passing status. LEDs on the PCB indicate the power status.
• S.M.A.R.T disk monitor
The G20 system checks the HHD performance through the S.M.A.R.T disk monitor.
When an error or warning occurs, a message is displayed on the screen that lists the
error or warning and how to remedy the situation. These events are logged and can be
copied to CD-ROM in delineated format for viewing on an external personal computer.

LED Indicators 0
I/O Panel LED Indicators

The I/O panel is located on the left side of the system. There are nine LEDs labeled 1, 2,
3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, and V. The V LED is defined as DC Power (+3.3 V). If this LED is in the Off
state, there is no power for the system. There are two LED states; the first state monitors
the system boot sequence and the second state monitors system function after the com-
pletion of the boot sequence.

Boot Sequence
When the system is powered on (by pressing the Standby key), the following occurs:
• The Starting progress bar is displayed.
- At this point the BIOS can be entered by pressing the Shift + S keys on a USB key-
board. The control panel is not available.
- The monitor changes to black before displaying the boot screen.
• The illumination state for LEDs #5, #6, #7, and #8 changes to orange.
• The illumination state for LEDs #5, #6, #7, and #8 changes to green.
• The imaging screen is displayed.

16 Troubleshooting
• The illumination state for LEDs #5, #6, #7, and #8 changes to off.
• The LED state changes based on the user input.

Confirm Voltages at the SWRG2 LED
1. Check the SWRG2 LED (located in the front of the system):

The LED on the SWRG2 is on under the following conditions: power is on and the
system is in standby.
2. Check the LEDs on the I/O panel.
3. Check the LED on the control panel.

18 Troubleshooting
4. Check the SWRG2 check points:

- Remove the side cover.
- Remove the front shield cover.
- Check DC power for D+3.3V, D+5V, D+12V, D-12V and STB+5V.
