- 1
Power down the drive and verify zero voltage on DC bus terminals.

Carefully remove the option board from the indicated slot.
- 3
Inspect the option board's connector pins for damage, dirt, or corrosion. Clean contacts with appropriate electronic cleaner.
- 4
Re-insert the option board firmly and securely into its slot, ensuring retaining clips are engaged.

If the fault persists, try moving the option board to a different, empty slot (if available and compatible).
