Introductory StatementsIt is important to read this procedure cover to cover before attempting this test process for the first time. It is also important to perform this procedure for the first time under the guidance of an individual who is already experienced with the process. You should always read each procedural step before performing that step in order to be aware of any special notes that may need to be observed during that step, or that are time sensitive. If you have questions about any step always stop and ask before continuing on. Always leave troubleshooting responsibilities to individuals who are qualified, and have been identified to perform that role in your organization. Feedback to Thomson Grass Valley Design Engineering Team is required. Inconsistent behaviors, repeatable errors, error messages in logs, etc. need to be fed back to the engineering team in order to resolve issues quickly, and ensure consistent quality. Please work with your department manager to determine the appropriate communication method to feed back issues that you may encounter over time. Service personnel should record SW bugs via the Starteam bug tracking database.

Important WarningsIt is crucial that you have removed the power cord whenever you are adding or removing boards from the system to prevent damage to the boards. The system power button does not shut down all power on the motherboard.

ScopeThis procedure is used to perform the Chongo system QC process after final system test, or service repair processes.
