Step 6 - Test the Installation

  1. Do the following:
    1. Reconnect any removed interface cables.
    2. Plug in the power cord.
  2. Turn on the product.
    To verify that the formatter is correctly installed, observe the following functions of the LEDs on the formatter:
    • The heartbeat LED (callout 1) illuminates if the formatter is functioning correctly.
      • While the product is initializing, the heartbeat LED illuminates solid red for about one second, and then turns solid green for about twenty seconds.
      • After the initialization sequence is complete, the heartbeat LED blinks continuously if the printer is functioning correctly.
    • The connectivity LED (callout 2) indicates that the formatter is completely seated. It illuminates green when the product power is turned on and stays green if the formatter is properly seated.
    If the LEDs do not correctly function, turn the product power off, remove the formatter, and then reinstall it (make sure that the formatter is fully seated before tightening the thumbscrews).
