To fix this issue, the Option License must be uninstalled and reinstalled.

Procedure

  1. Uninstall Data Export Option License following instructions found in Install Software Options .
  2. Reinstall Data Export Option License following instructions found in Install Software Options .

Procedure

  1. Power ON the Operator Console at the console front panel switch. Visually verify the Peripheral Tower front panel Power LED is illuminated and that each of the DVD Drive Access LEDs illuminates when media is inserted and the tray closed.
  2. Verify that the cooling fan at the rear of the DVD Peripheral Tower is operational.
  3. No other verifications required.
