To install modules

The following steps give general instructions for installing modules into the mainframe or the expansion frame of the system.

Electrostatic discharge can damage electronic components. Use grounded wriststraps and mats when performing any service to modules.

1Turn off the frame power switch, then unplug the power cord. Disconnect any input or output connections.

2Plan your module configuration.

Refer to the manuals of individual modules for configuration information.

3Loosen the thumb screws.

Cards or filler panels below the slots intended for installation do not have to be removed.

Starting from the top, loosen the thumb screws on filler panels and cards that need to be moved.

4Starting from the top, pull the cards and filler panels that need to be moved halfway out.

All multicard modules will be cabled together. To prevent damage to the cables and connectors, pull these cards out together.

5Remove the cards and filler panels.

Remove the cards or filler panels that are in the slots intended for the module installation.

Some modules for the logic analysis system require calibration if you move them to a different slot. Refer to the manuals of individual modules for calibration information.

6Install the module.

You may need to push all other cards into the card cage, but not completely in, to get them out of the way for installing the module.

Refer to the manuals of individual modules for cabling information.

7Slide the complete module into the frame, but not completely in.

Each card is firmly seated and tightened one at a time in step 9.

8Position all cards and filler panels so that the endplates overlap.

9Seat the cards and tighten the thumbscrews.

Starting with the bottom card, firmly seat the cards into the backplane connector of the mainframe. Keep applying pressure to the center of the card endplate while tightening the thumbscrews finger-tight. Repeat this for all cards and filler panels starting at the bottom and moving to the top.

For correct air circulation, filler panels must be installed in all unused card slots. Correct air circulation keeps the instrument from overheating. Keep any extra filler panels for future use.

10Plug in the system, then turn it on.

When you turn on the power switch, the logic analysis system performs power-up tests. After the power-up tests are complete, the screen will show your system configuration.
