E6L Engine CMOS Battery Replacement

This document provides instructions for replacing the CMOS battery in the E6L engine. If your S6L system displays an alert in-
forming you that the CMOS battery has reached a critically low charge, use this guide to locate and replace the battery.
Engine CMOS Battery Needs to be Replaced:
The E6L Engine CMOS battery (CR2032) is running critically low which
may cause unexpected engine behavior.
Please refer to the E6L CMOS Battery Replacement.pdf or visit
avid.com/S6Lsupport for instructions to replace the CMOS battery
in the E6L Engine.
Images shown in this guide (such as cable colors or hardware configuration) may not exactly match your E6L.

Software Compatibility

Note that the low battery alert message only appears in VENUE software version 6.2 and later. If your S6L system is running an
earlier version of VENUE software, you can follow the steps in the following Knowledge Base article to manually query the battery
voltage.

Required Materials

Be sure to gather the following before proceeding:
• Replacement CMOS battery (available from any source that sells standard watch batteries).
Type: CR2032 3V Lithium Coin Cell Battery
• Anti-Static wrist strap (not included)
• Table or other flat work surface strong enough to support the E6L Engine Core

Removing the E6L Engine Core

AVB-192 Network Cards are installed in the E6L engine core, which slides out of the E6L chassis.
To remove the E6L engine core
Put on your anti-static wrist band and configure it according to its instructions.
1
Shut down your system, and disconnect any cables connected to your E6L engine.
2
Place your E6L on a table or other flat surface that provides enough room for the E6L engine core to be removed comfortably.
3
Make sure your surface is clear of any debris.
If your E6L engine is installed in a rack and there is enough room inside the rack to access the inside of the core, instead of com-
pletely removing the core you can slide it out until it catches, and then proceed with installation.

Summary of Contents for Avid Technology E6L

  • Page 1 Make sure your surface is clear of any debris. If your E6L engine is installed in a rack and there is enough room inside the rack to access the inside of the core, instead of com- pletely removing the core you can slide it out until it catches, and then proceed with installation.
  • Page 2 On the back of the E6L, loosen the four thumbscrews that secure the core to the engine chassis. Figure 1. Four thumbscrews on the back of the E6L Simultaneously pull the two bottom thumbscrews outward so the latches they are attached to are fully extended (see Figure 2).
  • Page 3 If the E6L Engine is deeply recessed in a road case it is likely that you will have to completely remove the core to access the bat- tery. If this is the case, locate the interior catch on the right side of the tray (shown below), and press it to release the core from the chassis.
  • Page 4 Re-install the E6L Engine Core Slide the core back into the E6L chassis, making sure the connectors face outward. When the core is fully seated into the chassis, the two latches at the bottom of the chassis should be fully collapsed.
  • Page 5 • An included IEC power cable from AC power inlet A on the back panel of the E6L to your power source. • A USB keyboard and mouse to any USB ports on the E6L. E6L provides two USB ports on the front panel, and two on the back panel.
  • Page 6 Close this window to exit to the desktop for Activation or Troubleshooting of this engine. You will see a message that “ Connection to the E6L Engine has been lost ” but this message is expected. Connection will be re-established later after confirming date and time.
  • Page 7 Re-connect power to the E6L engine, and connect audio network cables from the S6L control surface to the E6L engine. Power on your E6L engine, wait until its front panel LEDs are green and flashing amber, then power your S6L control surface back on.
