Installing the Modules

Procedure

1.With the mainframe off, disconnect the power cord and remove the top cover by loosening the screws with a flat-bladed screwdriver.

2.Remove any packing material from inside the mainframe.

3.Grasp the module using the quarter-turn locking fastener and the input connectors. This reduces the possibility of damage to static sensitive components on the pc board.

4.Start installing the modules in the slot next to the GPIB board (see figure 3-1).

Figure 3-1. Module Installation Diagram

5.Lock the module in place using the quarter-turn locking fastener and the rear panel thumbscrew. Hand- tighten only.
