Cause:
CPU-X failure often means that the CM(E)d is not receiving AC power on that phase. IE, CPU-1 means phase A, CPU-2 means phase B, and CPU-3 means phase C.
If the processor is NOT a CM(E)d, it may have been set up incorrectly as a CM(E)d. Other Unison processor variants such as CME(i) do not use the components that would report those errors, so they would automatically give those errors because they do not detect the components.
Workaround / Fix:
- If the processor is indeed a CM(E)d, check power of appropriate phase and check the fuses.
- If the processor is a different variant, use the following steps to make sure it is assigned as the correct processor:
- Check the version of the processor by looking at the label on the right of it. There will be several options on a sticker, and only one should have a filled in black diamond. The name next to that diamond is what your processor should be.
(for example in this image the processor is a CMEd and the diamond next to it is filled in.) - Press and hold the 'Initialization Activate' button on the processor until the screen says MENU [Stat] (see image for reference, as the buttons are hidden).
- Check the version of the processor by looking at the label on the right of it. There will be several options on a sticker, and only one should have a filled in black diamond. The name next to that diamond is what your processor should be.
- Use the yellow 'Up' arrow button to go to MENU [Rack].
- Use the green 'Enter' button to select 'Control' and change it to or confirm that it matches what the processor should be.
- Use the purple 'Exit' button to leave this window and say 'Yes' to Save Changes.
