Troubleshooting

First save the active list, if this is not possible, then after restarting use the backup list.

Keys not working or functions not available?
SCSI error indicated?
Press TK then VTR1, do the control panel lights change?
If the lights do not change, then reset the Pogle workstation.
Wait for LOADING to disappear.
Continue operation.

LOADING does not disappear from system area?
Follow restart procedure.

Pointer is frozen on the Platinum screen?
Try to enter control panel test mode.
If not possible, then reset the control panel.
Note that it is very rare for the control panel to crash.

Only as a last resort should the SGI be powered off.

If a particular problem happens frequently, then try to keep track of the operations that caused it and send details to Pandora at service@pandora-int.com

If the SGI locks up when the Pogle workstation reset button is pressed, then the Pogle workstation needs a simple modification. This must be done as soon as possible.

Engineering debug notes.
