Briefly Disable the Shutdown Circuitry
In this step, you shutdown the protective circuitry for a short time, and the
supplies are forced on (including shorted supplies) with a 100% duty cycle.
Caution
Damage to components or to circuit traces may occur if
A8TP4
(SDIS) is shorted to chassis ground for more than a few seconds
while supplies are shorted.
1. Connect
A8TP4
(SDIS) to chassis ground with a jumper
wire.
2.
Switch on the analyzer and note the
signal
mnemonics and test points of any
LEDs
that are
off. Immediately
resow
the
jumper
wire.
3. Refer to the block diagram
(Figure
5-8) at the end of this chapter and do the
foIIowing:
n
Note the mnemonics of any additional signals that may connect to any
A8
test point that showed a
fault
in the previous step.

assemblies that use the power supplies whose
A8
LEDs
went out when
A8TP4
(SDIS) was connected to chassis ground.
