Run the independent MHR PWB test (diagnostics) from the RTM terminal
Run the §6.10.3 stand-alone "independent PWB test" from a Windows PC terminal wired to the RTM — using the diagnostics program's own **Field Mode** — to positively identify a defective MHR PWB in the field, complete with the IP setup, File Mode test-7 run, clean shutdown, and the JP2/JP3 serial-number-change procedure (source §6.10.3, p.104-108).
Applies to
Aquilion 16 (TSX-101A) — Console volume 2D201-079E*H, §6.10.3 "Independent PWB test (diagnostics)" (p.104-108). This is the stand-alone PWB test program started **from a terminal connected to the RTM**, used in the field (via its "Field Mode") to identify a defective MHR PWB — distinct from the sibling §6.10.2 "Malfunction diagnosis program (hwtest)", which runs from the started-up system's own console window instead of an external terminal (Related). Confirm which of the two test programs the situation calls for before proceeding.
Personnel
1 technician · Intermediate — wiring an RS-232C cross cable + a straight Ethernet cable between a Windows PC terminal (TeraTerm recommended) and the RTM, editing the acquisition host's hosts file and using the VxWorks boot menu's "Modify BootLine" to set both units' IP addresses, working the VxWorks "Run Diagnostics" menu (answering the aqm-connect retry prompt with n), confirming the recognized MHR PWB components against Table 6.10-2 by PWB type (DP/FCO/BP), running File Mode test 7 and reading the yellow-to-red pass/fail indication, performing the two-part clean shutdown (scan system console + image display system console), and — only when a serial number needs changing — moving the JP2/JP3 short pins to the 1-2 position and back (skill assessment derived from procedure content — not an OEM-stated skill level).
