The identification of errors within the AE-6B chassis is
triggered in one of two ways :-
1: Busy or 2: Device failure to respond to IIC. In the event
of one of these situations arising the software will first try to release the
bus if busy (Failure to do so will report with a continuous flashing LED) and
then communicate with each device in turn to establish if a device is faulty.
If a device is found to be faulty the relevant device number will be displayed through the LED (Series of
flashes which must be counted) See table 1, non fatal errors are reported using
this method.

speaker connector] as speakers are fitted inside the rear cover.
Before completely removing the rear cover
disconnect the speaker connector which is located on the inside.
To remove lift the main bracket rear slightly and slide the
chassis away from the beznet. Ensure that the interconnecting leads are
released from their purse locks to prevent damage being caused.
When refitting the chassis ensure that the main bracket is located
in the beznet guide slots before sliding the chassis forwards. Refit the
interconnecting leads in their respective purse locks.
Position the chassis as indicated to access the solder side.
To remove the G Board release the clips circled
and ease the board gently away from the support bracket. Removal of the D Board
follows the same procedure.
To remove the M Board gently release the two clips with a screwdriver
and remove the board from its socket vertically.
If the M Board needs to be removed for testing when
the chassis is placed in its service position, it would be necessary to use an
extender board and extension cable as indicated above. The Extender board and extension cable are
available.
Ensure that wires do not touch heat sinks and high
temperature hotspots. All wires must be kept at a minimum distance of 20 mm away
from the EHT lead.
