1. SSD RECOVERY ON THE EC-200 CONTROLLER
1.1 General
Phenom enon
In rare cases the EC-200 controller can fail to boot properly and not show the Event Master
Toolset GUI. This can occur due to the solid-state drive (SSD) having been corrupted from
hard power cycling using the power switch on the back of the unit.
Solution
Re-image the SSD. Upgrade the firmware and the operating system, as described in Info-T
1322: Upgrading the Firmware and Operating System on the EC-200 Controller. Following
the firmware and OS upgrade, use the power-off soft button (
) to shut down the EC-200
controller.
Scope
Affects EC-200 controllers.

GUI, perform an SSD recovery.
