Description: When the 5494 first
powers on after the transition to the year 2000, the power-on self-test
(POST) may detect an invalid date and post an error (002-04 123) that
instructs the operator to set the date. The following steps will correct
this error:
- Press Enter on the operator keypad. This will
indicate that the 5494 operator has been notified of the error. The
display will change to (002-05 0).
- Type 1 and then press Enter to indicate that
the error should be ignored, the 5494 will start loading for normal
operations.
- The 5494 will complete loading, the ready light will appear
and the 5494 can be used for normal operations.
- On the keypad press Req, Type 213 and press
Enter, to access the set date function.
- The display will show the 5494 date. For example, if the
5494 date is January 3, 2000, the display would show (213-01||
00-01-03)
- If the 5494 is using release 3.2 microcode and the
date is correct, press Esc, no further steps are
needed.
For 5494 microcode releases prior to release 3.2, the date must
always be entered. For 5494 microcode release 3.2, the date
needs to be entered only if 5494 date is incorrect.
- Type the correct date, for example, if the correct
date is January 3, 2000, type 0 0 0 1 0 3, and then press
Enter.
