Default Checking System usage--"dead DSP". Normal?

Checking System usage--d24 (2nd card after MIX Farm) says "dead DSP", and the meter is fully red. Is this normal? Anyone seen this?

Yeah, I've seen it. And not a funny situation : the card was broken. [img]images/icons/frown.gif[/img]

Digi, this card has just had it's chips upgraded by tech support for use in a Bit 3 chassis. Can you jump in with some comments?

As Zeus suggested, this usually indicates a hardware failure.

In one case regarding the 'Dead DSP' message on a d24 card, the problem would only present itself after the card was running for some time, which might be specific to your situation as well. Please contact tech support via phone to discuss repair options.

If you haven't tried reseating your MIX cards, you should give that a try. Had this error two or three times on my mobiles rig, reseating did the trick.
