Using the embedded configuration
In addition to the four EHX configurations that can be stored on the card, the CPU card also
includes an embedded configuration. The embedded configuration is designed for fast fault
checking following a system upgrade or field install (for example, checking hardware
connections with user panels and interface cards).
Note:
The embedded configuration may also be used as a back-up configuration, in the very rare
event that a system error renders the other configurations unusable.
To activate the embedded configuration:
1)
On the front of the CPU card, press and hold the CONFIG and the ENG buttons.
2)
Simultaneously, reset the CPU card by pressing and holding the CPU card's lower
RESET button (the Full reset button).
Note:
3)
Continue holding the CONFIG, ENG and RESET buttons until the CPU card's dot
matrix display displays 0. It may take 1 - 2 seconds before 0 is displayed.

Full Reset button
When a full reset is performed, all cards in the matrix reset, regardless of any
system preferences in the program software. Non-volatile memory is cleared.
To perform a full reset:
1)
Press and hold the CPU card's lower RESET button (the Full reset
button).
2)
Simultaneously press and release the CPU card's upper RESET
button.
Continue holding the CPU card's lower RESET button for two
3)
seconds. The CPU card then performs a full reset.
The same configuration that was active before the system was reset will be
active after reset.
When the cards and connected audio devices reset, they momentarily stop
their current activity and restart. During this process configuration information
is downloaded to the cards and audio devices from the CPU card's non-
volatile RAM.
Note:
Under normal operating conditions it is not necessary to perform a full reset.
Technical personnel might perform a full reset if they believe that the CPU
card is operating incorrectly as a result of corruption of the microprocessor's
internal data or instruction sequence.

A tool, such as a pin, is used to press and hold the RESET button.
