C. Aircraft Maintenance Configuration
(1) Energize the aircraft electrical circuits
(Ref. AMM TASK 24-41-00-861-002).
(2) On the center pedestal, on the Multipurpose Control & Display Unit (MCDU):
(a) Adjust the brightness of the MCDU screen.
(b) Push the DATA mode key to get access to the "DATA INDEX" page.
(c) Push the line select key adjacent to the "A/C STATUS" indication.
(d) Make sure that the "IDLE/PERF" value is the same as the value you recorded during the removal. If it is not, enter "ARM" in the "CHG CODE" line adjacent to line select key 5L.
(f) Enter this value adjacent to line select key 6L.
(g) Set the brightness to OFF.

(3) If the P/N is not the same, remove the computer and send it back to the shop.
5. Close-upNOTE: This check is only applicable to a new FMGC or an FMGC in which an On Board Replaceable Module (OBRM) was replaced because of a fault.
(1) Get access to the "SYSTEM REPORT/TEST" menu page (Ref. AMM TASK 31-32-00-860-001). NOTE: The actions and the results of this procedure occur on the MCDU that you use.
| ACTION | RESULT |
|---|---|
| On the MCDU: 1.Push the line select key adjacent to the "AFS" indication. | On the MCDU:
|
| 2.Push the line select key adjacent to the "LRU IDENTIFICATION" indication. |
