How to properly isolate the C boards
When the ribbon cables from the D board to the C boards are disconnected in order to isolate the C boards, the Power LED will blink 6 times.
To properly isolate the C boards without having the Power LED blink, the test point TP9387 (Labeled TP9387 on the D board) should be grounded through a 1K resistor.
The VDA connector should be also disconnected.
