TAP Cable Fabrication Instructions Note: In order to use the Test Access Port (TAP) commands listed in this service manual, it is necessary to construct a dedicated cable for this purpose. Refer to the part list and instructions below. Note: Refer to Figure x below for the following instructions. Parts needed: 1 - IBM compatible PC null modem cable (9 pin female connector each end) 1 - JST 3 pin connector, JST model ZHR-3. 1 - Red wire with JST terminal, Bose® part number 177426-11 1 - White wire with JST terminal, Bose part number 177426-12 1 - Green wire with JST terminal, Bose part number 177426-8 1 - B+B Electronics RS-232 to TTL converter, B+B model number 232LPTTL (available at the B+B Electronics web site at http://www.bb-elec.com) 1. Cut off one end of the PC null modem cable. You will need only the three wires that correspond to pin 2, pin 3 and pin 5 of the 9 pin D-SUB connector. 2. Mount the three wires with the pre-crimped JST terminals into the JST connector as shown in Figure x. The red wire goes to pin 1, the white to pin 2 and the green to pin 3. Be sure to check that the wire locations are correct or your cable will not work. 3. Once the wires are installed, place a piece of heat shrink tubing over the three wires approximately 1/8" behind the JST connector and heat shrink it in place. This is to help keep the wires secured in the connector. Now place a two inch long piece of heat shrink tubing over the other piece and just over the shoulder of the JST connector. Heat shrink this in place as well. This tubing will provide a convenient means of cable insertion and removal in the 3-2-1 console connector. Changing the 3-2-1 Console Region Code Note: You can only change the region code for a console a total of 4 times. After that the console will not change the region code. 1. Connect the B+B RS-232 to TTL converter to one of the serial data ports on the back of your IBM compatible PC. Connect the TAP interface cable to the B+B converter. Plug the other end of the cable into J1 of the 3-2-1 console display board. This connector can be accessed from outside the cabinet, under the right side of the front of the console.

APPENDIX
Changing the 3-2-1 Console Region Code (continued) 2. Set up your computer as shown in the computer setup procedure earlier in this manual. 3. Power up the 3-2-1 system console. On the PC, open the terminal window that you have set up using the computer setup procedure. Open the connection between the PC and the console. 4. On the console, place a DVD disc of the region that you want to change to into the console tray. For example, if you wanted to change a region code 1 console to region 2, you would place a region code 2 DVD disc into the console. Allow the disc to spin up. 5. On the PC, type in the applicable TAP command from the table below and press ENTER on the keyboard. The region code will have changed to the new region.
