To troubleshoot:

1. Power cycle instrument and re-attempt run setup with same consumables. Search for Knowledge Article: **How to power cycle the NextSeq 1000/2000**.
2. If error persists after power cycling, remove cartridge from the instrument and perform system checks. Search for Knowledge Article: **System Checks for the NextSeq 1000/2000**.
3. Collect the following files from the instrument:
   1. System check results (located in /usr/local/illumina/systemcheck)
   2. Run set up logs (located in /usr/local/Illumina/Runs/Setup/\[Date\_Time]).
4. Provide the collected files in Step 3 to [Illumina Technical Support](https://www.illumina.com/company/contact-us.html#/) for evaluation and next steps.

# Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation

If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter:

```
GET https://knowledge.illumina.com/instrumentation/nextseq-1000-2000/instrumentation-nextseq-1000-2000-troubleshooting-list/000005170.md?ask=<question>
```

The question should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
