8. MAINTENANCE AND CHECKOUT
This section provides instructions on post-installation checkout procedures and information on
Instructions for Continued Airworthiness.
8.1 Post-Installation Checkout
8.1.1 Before Power-On Tests
1. Before installing the SDU in the mounting tray, confirm that all aircraft interface wiring is
correct as per the aircraft wiring integration design.
2. Confirm that a valid SIM card is installed in the SDU Configuration Module (SCM).
3. Set the system circuit breaker for the Main power source and confirm that 28 VDC power
is available between pins J1C-2 and J1C-3. Pull the circuit breaker and ensure that Main
power is removed.
4. Place the SDU in the mounting tray and secure the front hold-down.
5. Open the front panel door and confirm that a flash card is installed in the SDU.
Note:
If no flash card is present, a FLASH CARD FAULT is generated in the MUI, and an SDU
FAIL will display on the MCDU SATCOM BITE STATUS page. Only FLYHT P/N 502-
1180-x flash cards should be used in the Airbus Iridium SATCOM System.
6. If installed, the cockpit FAULT indication should be illuminated when power is not
applied to the system.
7. Set the system circuit breaker for the Main power source. The SYSTEM LED indicator
on the front panel of the SDU will be amber indicating that the system is initializing.
Note:
The first time an SDU is installed in an aircraft, the SYSTEM LED indicator will typically
remain amber even after it has initialized. The MUI will display an SCM Configuration
Fault indicating that the proper configuration settings have not yet been made.
8. Connect an Ethernet cable to the Maintenance Port in the front panel and follow
procedures to open the Maintenance User Interface (MUI) as described in Section 7.
9. Log in to the MUI as Maintenance User and Enter Maintenance Mode to install ICT and
ORT files in accordance with the procedures contained in Section 7. Exit Maintenance
Mode to reboot the system. Keep the laptop connected to the Maintenance Port after
finishing the configuration procedure.
10. Once the system resets, the SYSTEM LED indicator on the front panel of the SDU will
turn green once the system is operational.
11. The cockpit FAULT annunciator should remain illuminated whenever the SYSTEM
STATUS indicator is amber, and extinguish when the SYSTEM LED indicator turns
green.
