Description
Two different revisions of MCF boards share the same part number: 503C2L166S. We cannot control the board's revisions. When an MCF replacement is required, several steps must be performed due to the different Xilix files that are needed to load according to the board revision.

Replacement Description

1. Identify the revision number of the new board:

• If the new board revision number is the same as the defective one, no action should be taken other than board replacement.
• If the new board's revision is different from the defective board, a different Xilinx file must be loaded.

Identify The Board Revision

Changing the Xilinx according to Board Revision

1. Go to START/ RUN / Regedit / HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE / SOFTWARE / SCITEX / PROJECT / LOTEM400V (or Lotem 800) / IO OBJECTS / MCF CARDS / MCF CARD.
   
2. Double-click the Xilinx file line and change the xil file.

LOTEM 400

• For MCF revision A - Lotem 400\UpLoadFile\Mcf\ctp.xil
  
• For MCF revision A software version 1.50.07 and later - Lotem 400\UpLoadFile\Mcf\ctp_RevA.xil
  
• For MCF revision C - Lotem 400\UpLoadFile\Mcf\ctp_RevC.xil
  
• Make sure the file exists under C:\Lotem\Lotem400\UpLoadFiles; if the file does not exit, a new version, 1.30.04, should be loaded.
  

LOTEM 800

• For MCF revision A - Lotem800\UpLoadFile\Mcf\ctp.xil
  
• For MCF revision C - Lotem800\UpLoadFile\Mcf\ctp_RevC.xil
  
• Make sure the file exists under C:\Lotem\Lotem800\UpLoadFiles.
