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.
Equipment
Digital Voltmeter
