Repair Philosophy
The computer repair philosophy consists of early warning of probable failures, three overlapping
levels of diagnostics, service utilities,
and
most assembly replacement within 15 minutes.
The computer
is
repaired at
an
assembly replacement level. Parts that are most commonly replaced
are exchange parts
and
are on the Computer Support Division (CSD) exchange program. When
an
exchange part
fails,
it
should
be
returned to CSD for repair,
and
a rebuilt part should
be
obtained. If
a new part
is
purchased instead,
it
is
unnecessary to return the failed part. Chapter 5 contains lists of
all
replaceable parts. Tables
in
Chapter 5 also
list
exchange parts with new
and
rebuilt part
numbers.
In
addition to the standard three levels of Field Service Inventory
(FSI)
sets, several other sets are
available depending
on
the selected options. These are as follows:
• GP-IO

The ac module has
an
attached 6-foot power cord that plugs into
an
ac outlet to provide primary
power to the computer. Besides the power cord, the ac module contains a line
filter,
ac module
cable,
and
the on/off power switch/circuit breaker.
The computer
is
wired for either 110V or 220V and can be converted from
one
to the other
in
the
field.
Conversion requires changing the power cord, ac module cable,
and
power switch. Chapter 4
provides procedures for replacing
all
ac components.
