2Installing the System

To install the work surface

If the system will not be used with a probe station, install the work surface to facilitate in- fixture or coaxial measurements.

The work surface is designed to fit onto the rack below the network analyzer. When the following procedure is performed properly, the work surface maintains a path to chassis ground through the support rails and the rack cabinet.

Follow these instructions to install the work surface.

Required Tools

•Medium Pozidriv screwdriver

•Small flat- blade screwdriver
