Subtask 22-60-00-860-056-A ** ON A/C NOT FOR ALL
A. Aircraft Maintenance Configuration
   (1) Energize the aircraft electrical circuits (Ref. AMM TASK 24-41-00-861-002).
   (2) Make sure that the ventilation of the electronics racks operates correctly.
   (3) On the overhead panel, on the ADIRS CDU:
  • set the OFF/NAV/ATT selector switches to NAV.
   (4) On the center pedestal, on the SWITCHING panel 8VU:
  • set the AIR DATA switch to CAPT/3, F/0/3 then NORM position (this action is mandatory to do the test correctly).
   (5) On the overhead panel, on the FLT CTL panels 23VU and 24VU:
  • make sure that the FAC 1 and FAC 2 pushbutton switches are pushed (the FAULT and OFF legends are off).
   (6) Do the EIS start procedure (Ref. AMM TASK 31-60-00-860-001).
