MONOGRAPHPLUS CAUTION STATEMENT
|
|
|
|
|
|
The following caution statement is included both as a separate
|
|
warning notice, and as a notice within both manuals in each
|
|
MonoGraphPlus shipping package.
|
|
|
|
C A U T I O N ! ! !
|
|
|
|
TO PREVENT DAMAGE TO YOUR MONITOR, DO NOT RUN THE IBM
|
|
DIAGNOSTICS WITH YOUR AST RESEARCH MONOGRAPHPLUS
|
|
BOARD UNTIL YOU HAVE MODIFIED THEM ACCORDING TO THE
|
|
INSTRUCTIONS IN APPENDIX A OF THE MONOGRAPHPLUS
|
|
USER'S MANUAL OR APPENDIX E OF THE MONOGRAPHPLUS
|
|
TECHNICAL REFERENCE MANUAL.
|
|
|
|
If you run unmodified diagnostics with the MonoGraph
|
|
Plus board, the screen will display "garbage" and
|
|
damage to your monitor can result. Under no
|
|
circumstances will AST Research, Inc., be liable in
|
|
any way for damages that arise from running
|
|
unmodified IBM diagnostics with the MonoGraphPlus
|
|
board.
|
|
|
|
Do not run the diagnostics if you are unable to patch
|
|
them.
|
|
|
|
The damage which is referred to is that a fuse within the
|
|
Monochrome monitor may "blow" and result in the requirement for a
|
|
service call. As this is an internal fuse, the monitor must be
|
|
opened up to service the fault. We do not recommend that the
|
|
customer attempt this service himself. Potentially lethal
|
|
voltages exist within the monitor, even with the power cord
|
|
removed from the source. In addition, this fuse is soldered into
|
|
the circuit, and as such, soldering skills are required for its
|
|
replacement.
