Xen IPK R1000 Upgrade Procedure for Xen Axis/Master

Xen IPK

 

 

Doc. No. 8283 - Release 1.0 September 2003

When a CPUI( )-U( ) ETU is installed in the system, the clock/ calendar must be set. This also applies when battery backup fails for any reason.

When CPUI( )-U( ) ETU is removed for long term storage, disconnect the battery from CN4. This prevents the battery from discharging completely. The fully charged battery retains memory for approximately 21 days.

The CPUI( )-U( ) ETU has the following connectors:

CN1

Connects to the backboard

 

 

CN2

Connects to the ISA-bus

 

 

CN3

Connects to CN2 on the EXP-U( ) ETU using the

 

 

expansion cable

 

 

CN4

Connects to the memory backup battery using the

 

 

battery cable (factory installed)

 

 

CN5

Connects to CN1 of the CLKG-U( ) Unit

 

CN6

Connects to CN2 of the CLKG-U( ) Unit

Replacing Memory Backup

The CPUI( )-U( ) ETU provides memory backup for approximately 21 days. The Ni-Cad battery should be replaced about every two years.

1.Remove the battery cable from CPUI( )-U( ) ETU CN4. Refer to Figure 2-2: CPUI( )-U( ) ETU Switch Settings.

2.Connect the cable from the new battery to CN4 on the CPUI( )-U( ) ETU.

3.Turn off the KSU power.

4.Remove the CPUI( )-U( ) ETU from the slot in the KSU.

5.Use a suitable cutting tool to cut the tie wrap and remove the old battery.

6.Fasten the new battery with a tie wrap.

7.Install the CPUI( )-U( ) ETU again.

8.Turn on the KSU power.
