Maintenance

Preparation

Before servicing this product, read the Safety Summary and Introduction at the front of the manual and the ESD information below.

￿￿UTION￿ Static discharge can damage any semiconductor component in this generator. If you are removing a module for service, begin by doing the Access Procedure on page 6±16. By following the instructions in that procedure, you remove the module to be serviced while removing the minimum number of additional modules.

Preventing ESD When performing any service that requires internal access to the waveform generator, adhere to the following precautions to avoid damaging internal modules and components due to electrostatic discharge (ESD).

1.Minimize handling of static-sensitive modules.

2.Transport and store static-sensitive modules in their static protected containers or on a metal rail. Label any package that contains static-sensitive modules.

3.Discharge the static voltage from your body by wearing a grounded antistatic wrist strap while handling these modules. Do service of static-sensitive modules only at a static-free work station.

4.Do not allow anything capable of generating or holding a static charge on the work station surface.

5.Handle circuit boards by the edges when possible.

6.Do not slide the modules over any surface.

7.Avoid handling modules in areas that have a floor or work-surface covering capable of generating a static charge.
