f you use the internal com-
bustion engine (ICE) box with
the AN/PSM-95 Soldier's
Portable On-system Repair
Tool (SPORT) or AN/PSM-
95A Maintenance Support
Device (MSD), make sure the
ICE box power switch is
turned off before you connect
their components for testing.
If the switch is on, voltage
can damage the ICE test kit's
DM224 PCMCIA circuit
card, which costs almost
$3,000. That means no more
testing. Before hookup, also
check the power/data cable
for fraying at the connectors.
A frayed cable can short cir-
cuit and also damage the card
and the ICE box itself.
Check for fraying at connectors
To help you remember to turn
the switch off, stick a warning
label on top of the ICE box. Get
the label by calling the
MSD/SPORT Help Desk at
1-877-564-1137 or emailing:
APATS@redstone.army.mil
You can also contact MSD/
SPORT support through the
dial-up connection that's part of
the MSD desktop by clicking on
the MSD homepage icon.
Info on removing and installing the MSD and SPORT PCMCIA card is in TM 9-
6625-2301-12, which is the interactive electronic technical manual that came with the
MSD. The TM can be accessed from the IETM icon on the MSD desktop. The com-
puter-based training module that's part of the MSD and SPORT software gives addi-
tional training and info. To access it, hit the CBT icon on the desktop.
SPORT users will need to order TM 9-6625-2301-12 through their pubs account.
If you have any questions about MSD or SPORT, call or write MSD/SPORT support
at the numbers and addresses above.
