workstation enters the POST, power OFF and replace one
device at a time; repeat this procedure until failure occurs.
Replace the device that is causing the failure. Continue
adding devices one at a time to ensure all devices are
functioning properly.
3. Check the power supply functionality.

the system board. Contact Christie for assistance.
• If the power supply fan does not spin or the BIST**
