Installing Integrated Circuits

Use the procedures described in this section for installing:

1.

Any modules that include ICs to be installed inside the instrument,
including:

Firmware Upgrade

Module 4: Expanded Memory

Module 7: medCheck

If you are not installing ICs, skip to the section Enabling Modules below.

All ICs (integrated circuits) have a notch, dot, or dimple on one end. This is the
end with pin 1. All the ICs referenced here are oriented so that pin 1 is towards
the rear of the instrument. Note the notch marked on the PCB (printed circuit
board) on that end.

Note

Always orient an IC correctly when installing it or you could damage
it.

All ICs are referenced by a U number (U20, U21, etc.). The U numbers are
marked on the PCB. When installing an IC, make sure all the pins go into the
socket holes and none are stuck out or bent under. If the instrument doesn't work
correctly after installing an IC, check that it is the correct IC, that all the pins are in
the holes, and that the orientation is correct.
