Fil and Dave:
We replaced the 12V DC power connector on the EY IRIG-B unit. The original connector had a bent locking screw which made powering the unit down difficult. The new connector has a thumb screw and does not need a screwdriver to disconnect.
All the models at EY were stopped for the duration of the repair, and restarted at 11:20 PDT. The front end computers were not power cycled.
