Notes on SIO LED Indicator Status
1. Software controls this LED. Indications are game and revision specific. Changing the EPROM’s on this 
board may alter the function of this LED. Firmware damage may also cause new or different LED 
behavior.
2. Hardware controls this LED. Indications depend on hard-wired circuitry. A change in normal LED
behavior may indicate a circuit fault. Changing the EPROM’s on this board shouldn’t alter the function
of this LED.

CPU BOARD LED INDICATOR STATUS TABLE
Notes on LED Indicator Status
1. LED 1 monitors CPU power (+3.3V). If this LED is off or blinking, investigate processor circuits. If other 
LED’s are off or blinking at the same time, check +5V circuits or the game power supply.
2. LED 2 flashes when the hard disk is operating during game play. LED 2 may light continuously during
start-up. If this LED remains lighted, the hard drive may be locked-up or faulty.
3. Software controls RP63. In this game, RP63 initially indicates program start-up stages. This LED is a
seven-segment, alphanumeric display device. Normally, RP63 will display a lowercase “b” or “o” pat-
tern with sequentially blinking segments. During Self-Test screens, RP63 displays a “bouncing bar”
that resembles a hypen (“-”).

• Before servicing electronics, turn off AC power to the VGM. Wait for capacitors to discharge.
 Before touching or handling electronic assemblies, discharge static electricity on your body. To dis-
charge static, begin by connecting the line cord to a properly grounded outlet, but do not turn on the 
power! Next, touch the safety ground stud of the power supply chassis.
 Store electronic assemblies in an anti-static area. Use anti-static bags to store or transport circuit 
boards. Transport the hard drive in original shipping container.
 Do not remove or connect electronic assemblies when the power to the cabinet is switched on. Other-
wise you’ll damage electronic assemblies and void the warranty.
 Replace ground wires, shields, safety covers, etc., upon completion of maintenance or service. Install 
and firmly tighten all ground and mounting screws.
CAUTION
This Video Game Machine (VGM) uses complex electronic components that are very sensi-
tive to static electricity. Observe the following precautions before handling electronic assem-
blies. Failure to do so may void your warranty and could damage electronic assemblies.

The LED’s glow and the fan turns when processor 
circuits receive voltage and indicate presence of 
DC from power supply. However, voltages or sig-
nals may not be normal. 
2. Turn on power. Set the digital voltmeter to the 20-
volt DC setting and measure DC voltages at
power connector pins. Adjust the +5V source if
necessary. Refer to the Cabinet Wiring Diagram
for specific wiring information and voltage limits. 
3. Set the digital voltmeter to the 2-volt AC setting
and measure DC voltages at power connector
pins. Any reading here indicates that supply volt-
ages are unstable and may contain ripple or noise.
Faulty wiring 1. Turn off power. Check wiring harness connectors 
attach and fully seat onto mating board connec-
tors. Verify harness connects to CPU Board. 
Check other connectors in same way.

LINKING PROBLEM TROUBLESHOOTING 
Symptom Cause Required Action
Cannot connect multi-
ple Video Game 
Machines (VGMs)  
togetherFaulty wiring  1. Do not extend linking cables supplied with VGM.
2. Install required crossover between cabinets. Each
coupler connects two VGMs (one pair). Do not use
standard telephone type couplers or wiring for link-
ing.
3. Use only 10 Base-T, Ethernet-type, Category 5,
twisted-pair wiring. 
Improper linking 
hardware1. Use required network hub for your local network. 
A Hub Link Kit permits up to four VGM connec-
tions. Array completion requires basic kit brackets 
and spacers.
VGM does not recog-
nize other players in 
linking operation
VGM functions nor-
mally by itselfImproper settings 1. Record any error messages that occur during self-
test. 
2. From the Diagnostic Menu select DIP SWITCH
TEST. Confirm the link is enabled. 
3. Be sure that each VGM has a unique ID number. 
4. Select LINKING TEST from the Diagnostic menu.
Run tests for each linked VGM. 
Power problem 1. Verify the hub receives power.  AC adapter wires 
are thin and easily damaged.
Faulty wiring
(3 or more VGMs)1. Inspect hub indicator lights. Illuminated indicator 
lights for each active port light up if the cable(s) 
are properly connected. Check for cable continuity 
from hub to VGM for each indicator that failed to 
light. 
2. Assure no loose wires are caught in hinges, doors
or under cabinet.
3. Verify linking cable connects to CPU Board for
each game. 
4. Verify each linking cable operates properly by
placing it in working game. 
CAUTION
Do not remove or install any connector when the power is turned on. Installation under power 
will damage the circuit boards, ROM’s or hard disk drive and void the warranty.

switch setting1. Assure switches on hub are set according to Hub 
Link Kit instructions. (VGMs on a network do not 
require couplers. Hub has electronic crossover.)
2. Inspect hub indicator lights for link activity. See
manufacturer’s literature for diagnostics.
Wrong software 
versionVerify all linked VGMs use same version of software. 
Error message “VERSION MISMATCH” will appear if 
you try to link different versions. Contact your distribu-
tor.
Faulty wiring
(2 VGMs)1. Insert only the supplied crossover connection 
between coupled VGMs. Standard couplers 
appear identical to devices supplied with games, 
but do not include an internal crossover.
2. Verify each linking crossover coupler operates
properly by placing it in a working link between two
VGMs.
Faulty wiring
(3 or more VGMs)1. Use an additional crossover connector and cable 
to extend game or hub link connection. Two cross-
overs cancel each other out and results in same 
problem as no link crossover. 
2. Connect cables directly to hub. Do not use a
crossover coupler and hub together in single net-
work.
3. Separate communications wiring from other wir-
ing. Wires that must cross can only cross at right
angles to limit noise pickup.
CAUTION 
Do not remove or install any connector when power is turned on. Installation under power will 
damage the circuit boards, ROM’s or hard disk drive and void the warranty.
