Checking for Heat Damage

Inspect the AFG for signs of abnormal internally generated heat such as discolored printed circuit boards or components, damaged insulation, or evidence of arcing. If there is damage, do not operate the AFG until you have corrected the problem.

Checking Switches/Jumpers

Verify that the logical address setting is set correctly (factory set at 80). Verify that the bus request level and servant area settings are correct. See the Agilent E1445A User’s Manual for information.

Checking the AFG PCAs

Check fuse continuity and inspect all connectors for bent pins or damaged contacts.

Disassembly Use the following procedure to disassemble the AFG (see Figure 5-1):

1.Remove the nine T10 Torx screws on the right side panel.

2.Remove the front panel handles using a T-8 TORX driver.

3.Remove the hex standoffs and washers from the front panel digital port connector.

4.Remove the nuts and washers from the front panel BNC’s.
