5.2.3 System board battery
The System Board Battery is a small rectangular boxed object (“Snap Hat”) located in the middle of the Single Board Computer
(SBC) in the Master Controller. In the unlikely event the battery fails, it can be replaced.
Failure symptoms: System Clock resets when system is powered off.
Removal procedures: Place fingers or tool on both sides of the battery. Apply equal force to both sides and pull it away from
the SBC.
Installation Procedures: Locate battery connection base on the SBC. Ensure all four connection pins are straight and free of
contaminants. Align pins with base, push in firmly.
5.3 Board level light emitting diodes
Most circuit boards installed in the Master Controller and Ovens are equipped with light emitting diodes (LEDs). The LEDs can
display ongoing activity (communications, activation, etc.) and some are programmed to display diagnostic error codes.
The displayed activity and error codes are used to troubleshoot or confirm the ongoing functions of the analyzer system.
Not all LEDs are assigned blinking response states. They are primarily used for debugging when no user interface is available.
5.3.1 Single board computer
The SBC PCB has eight LEDs, numbered CR1 through CR8 left to right (see Figure 5.3). These LEDs are connected to GPIO pins
on the MPC8309 processor and are turned on and off with firmware.
