Instructions
This publication will guide you through the firmware up-grade 
procedure of the 1336 IMPACT drive. Upgrading the 1336 IMPACT 
firmware is a two part process. The first step involves replacing the 
Language Module and the second step involves replacing the Current 
Processor (CP) IC.
The Current Processor IC is located in the only square IC socket on the 
Main Control Board (MCB). This socket is located to the right and 
slightly above the Language Module on the B-G Frame drives. On the 
A - Frame drives, it is located beneath the cradle of the Human Interface 
Module, (HIM). 
NOTE: If this Up-Grade is being performed to a functioning 
application, you may wish to store the current parameter settings of the 
drive to the HIM before starting this procedure. Refer to Appendix C 
of the 1336 IMPACT User Manual for this procedure.
1. Remove and lock-out all incoming power to the drive cabinet.
2. Remove the front cover and verify that power has been removed
from all control terminals of the drive.
3. Referring to the following figure, determine which frame size drive
you have and the orientation of the Language Module and the 
Current Processor IC chip. On smaller drives (A-Frame) it will be 
!
ATTENTION: This drive contains ESD (Electrostatic 
Discharge) sensitive parts and assemblies. Static control 
precautions are required when installing, testing, servicing 
or repairing this assembly. Component damage may result 
if ESD control procedures are not followed. If you are not 
familiar with static control procedures, reference A-B 
publication 8000-4.5.2, “Guarding Against Electrostatic 
Damage” or any other applicable ESD protection handbook.
!
ATTENTION: To avoid a shock hazard, assure that all 
power to the drive has been removed before proceeding with 
the following procedure. In addition, verify that the DC bus 
has discharged by measuring across the “+DC” and “–DC” 
terminals of TB1 with a voltmeter. The voltage should be 
0.0VDC.
