2053 00POWER UP PROCEDURE

The procedure required to power up the AN/ASC-38 is contained in the following steps. Whenpowering up the AN/ASC-38, power may be available from the aircraft or from external dc or acpower sources.

• AIRCRAFT AND EXTERNAL AC OR DC POWER SOURCES (I.E.,GENERATORS, HMMWV) SHOULD BE SEPARATED BY THEMAXIMUM DISTANCE PERMITTED BY CABLE LENGTH ANDTERRAIN. THIS WILL REDUCE RISK OF FIRE, CARBON MONOXIDEPOISONING, AND NOISE HAZARD.

• DO NOT APPLY POWER TO AIRCRAFT UNTIL AC POWER SOURCEHAS BEEN PROPERLY GROUNDED. IMPROPER GROUNDING MAYRESULT IN FIRE, EXPLOSIONS, OR DEGRADATION IN A2C2SPERFORMANCE.

• SHOCK HAZARDS EXIST. TO AVOID ELECTRICAL SHOCK, DO NOTSTART AC POWER SOURCE BEFORE POWER AND GROUNDCABLES ARE CONNECTED BETWEEN AIRCRAFT AND AC POWERSOURCE.

AVOID EQUIPMENT DAMAGE. AN/ASC-38 EQUIPMENT MUST BEPOWERED UP IN THE SEQUENCE INDICATED IN THE FOLLOWINGSTEPS. FAILURE TO FOLLOW THE SEQUENCE COULD RESULT INEQUIPMENT DAMAGE.

1. Verify Advanced Data Controller POWER switch to ON.

TO PREVENT PERSONAL INJURY AND EQUIPMENT DAMAGE, REMOVEPLGR BA-500 BATTERY BEFORE APPLYING EXTERNAL POWER TOUNIT.

2. Verify BA-500 battery is not installed in Precision Lightweight Receiver (PLGR).

3. Release MPU HARD DRIVE ACCESS cover captive fasteners, lower cover, and verifyMulti-processor Unit 1 and Multi-processor Unit 2 PWR switches are set to ON.

NOTE There are four SCSI bays located in each MPU. They are numbered from top tobottom. The first bay is covered by a blank cover. SCSI bays 2 thru 4 are locatedbelow the blank cover. The Intel drive in the bottom of the MPU does not have aSCSI address associated with it.

4. Install and secure hard disk drives in MPU 1 and MPU 2 slots 1 thru 4, as required permission requirements. For each hard disk drive installed in MPU 1 and MPU 2, set MPU 1and MPU 2 SCSI address switches per table 1. Close MPU HARD DRIVE ACCESS coverand secure captive fasteners.

NOTES 1. In the following step, if the jumper cable is not properly configured, the AFATDShard drive will not be able to communicate over the Fire Support Network,preventing calls for fire or causing other applications to have errors on boot-up.

2. In the following step, the two forward captive fasteners on SCSI Panel A95 areobstructed by the forward left operator’s seat. Slide seat fully orward to gainaccess to the two fasteners. If necessary, use needle-nose pliers to releasecaptive fasteners or remove operators seat to gain access to the fasteners.

5. Release four captive fasteners and remove access cover from Small Computer Interface(SCSI) Panel.

6. Configure SCSI Panel to connect TCIM to the MPU slot containing the AFATDS hard driveper Table 2. One end of the jumper cable must be connected to TCIM PORT and the otherend must be connected to the connector where the AFATDS hard drive is located.

3005 00GROUND AC ADAPTER CABLES

Three ground ac adapter cables are provided with the AN/ASC-38. These cable assemblies arerequired to connect external AC power cable assemblies from various AC power sources to theA2C2S Aircraft External Interface Panel.

Mating connectors for external power source power cables are provided with ground AC adaptercables H313248-1 and H313248-2. The mating connectors must be attached to external powersource power cables as shown in figure 1. If connecting an external power source cable with five wireconductors to a generator with only four output terminals, the neutral and ground conductors must beconnected to the same generator terminal.

Ground AC adapter cable H313248-3 is provided with only the connector to be connected to A2C2SAircraft External Interface Panel. No mating connector is provided on the other end of the ground ACadapter cable. This cable assembly is provided to attach a non-standard power connector. Thenon-standard connector must be obtained locally and must be attached to the cable assembly perfigure 2.
