Troubleshooting Perform Power-on Self Test Perform Power-on Self Test The actions in the primary trouble isolation are done in the power-on sequence. Turn the system power on and inspect the status of the instruments (status LED on the front panel and error message in the LCD of the spinstand) as reference to the Table 2-1. If you find a symptom of the problems, it is necessary to isolate a defective instrument as reference to trouble isolation flow.
