When a mounting adapter is received from unit maintenance, inspect it for damage. Repair any
damage before proceeding with testing. See section IV or V if repairs are necessary.
Verify the symptom. Perform the operational check found in paragraph 4-9. This will direct you to the
correct troubleshooting flowchart or identify the fault.
Troubleshoot the mounting adapter using the flowchart. It will identify the defective module or

Replace the defective module or component. Follow the procedures in section IV or V.
Verify the repair. Repeat the operational check in paragraph 4-9 that failed. If it passes, then continue

Static electricity and stray voltages can damage the mounting adapter. Use an antistatic pad on
the work surface and wear a grounded wrist strap when troubleshooting.
All circuit card assemblies in the mounting adapter contain static sensitive devices susceptible to
electrostatic damage. DO NOT attempt to replace components without using protective
devices.
