C. Check of the Part Number(s) (P/N) of the Software Component(s) Uploaded to the FAC
(1) Get access to the "SYSTEM REPORT/TEST" menu page (Ref. AMM TASK 31-32-00-860-001).
(2) Make sure that the P/N(s) of the FAC shown on the "LRU IDENTIFICATION" page is(are) the same as the P/N(s) written on the media.
(a) If the P/N(s) of the FAC shown on the "LRU IDENTIFICATION" page is different from the P/N(s) written on the media, replace the FAC.
(b) If the two FACs are not uploaded with the same software, make sure that the configuration of FAC1 or FAC2 is permitted.
