3.Install one new lock washer and one new nut on each connector.
4.Tighten the nuts on the BNC connectors hand tight using the nut driver. (The holes in the panel are D shaped and therefore prevent the connector from turning without having to tighten the nuts excessively.)
5.Verify that the SMC connections on the A3 Output Assembly and, if the instrument has Option 002, the A10 Output Assembly are tight.
Final Steps
1.Insert the new plastic
2.Replace the bottom cover by reversing the removal procedure.
