Control Type: OSP 5020

Symptomatic Reasons For Replacement: CPU alarms with access address for Main Board. Upgrade
replacement for Bubble Memory. Options installations requiring additional memory.

Key Points: There are switch settings on each card. Each CCOP (which is the control card for FOPT
card) can handle up to 4 FOPT cards. To select 1-4 FOPT cards please follow switch settings below:

SW1 SW1 SW1 SW1

NOTE: Once you get level 1 alarm, you can move the jumper over to the left (3 side) and the machine should
operate for a few more weeks until the battery charge gets too low then a level 2 alarm will be triggered. Once
the battery is replaced remember to place the jumper back to the right (1 side). SW2 is only used on the
CMOS version cards 1.0 and 1.1 version.
