\subsection*{RICH}
All boards of the RICH subsystem (addresses 7xxx and 82xx) are powered by the supplies in the "RICH
Group". Use the button "RICH Powercycle" to switch them off and on again. When all power supplies

+If suddenly TRBnet fails (normally indicated by almost every button on the tactical display blinking red),
you usually can solve the problem by using the Reboot buttons. Start with RICH, ECAL, RPC and then the
rest. Try to restart after a couple of reboots before continuing.

+% \item If the EBs do not come up after a (or several) power cycles, try a "Fix missing IP".
\item Sometimes some MDC boards are missing for a longer time such that the tactical overview
informs you to take action.
Very often a DAQ restart is sufficient to get these boards working again.
\item Check that all supplies are on. Sometimes the 3.3V supply doesn't switch on due to an interlock.
