WP 0088 of TM 10-5410-285-23&P-1 (Mar 18, w/Ch1, Apr 21) for the chemical biological protected shelters (CBPS) currently has an error. When the TM update is released, it will contain an update to the work package for the system controller boot screen not appearing.
 
Until then, there’s a revised Step 1 that’s needed to perform troubleshooting procedures found in WP 0088, Troubleshooting for boot screen does not disappear on touchscreen.

Perform the following step instead of Step 1 as currently printed in WP 0088.
 
Revised Step 1:
  1. Power up the system, select the power source (Vol 2, WP 0219) and use STATIC mode, referencing TM 10-5410-285-10 (Feb 20).
  2. Watch the touch screen for error messages.
Condition/Indication:
        Did a blue screen appear with no boot screen? Or did a blue screen with an error message appear instead of the standard boot screen (Figure 1)?

Decision:
        Yes – Go to MALFUNCTION: System Controller Faulty in WP 0088.
        No – Continue with WP 0088 beginning with Step 2.
