BATTERY BACKUP
Service
Sheet
24
Description
The battery backup circuit switches the supply for the internal RAM
to
an internal
battery
when
either the +12V or
+5V
supply drops. The
two
supplies
are
measured on the memory assembly and
the voltage
at
which the backup switches
is
adjusted
to
a
level based on the measured supply voltages.

Procedure
1.
Connect the voltmeter
to
A13TPlO (+5V). Measure and record the dc voltage with respect to
ground.

2. Connect the voltmeter
to
A13TP12 (+12V). Measure and record the dc voltage with respect
to
ground.
Voltage
at
A13TP12 Vdc
