Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) Precautions
Almost all electrical components can be damaged by electrostatic
discharge (ESD) during handling. Component damage can occur at
electrostatic discharge voltages as low as 50 volts. The following
guidelines will help prevent ESD damage when servicing the
instrument or any electronic device.
Disassemble instruments
only
in a static-free work area.
Use a conductive work area to reduce static charges.
Use a conductive wrist strap to reduce static accumulation.
Minimize handling.
Keep replacement parts in original static-free packaging.
Remove all plastic, foam, vinyl, paper, and other static-generating
materials from the immediate work area.
Required Tools
For the disassembly procedures in this manual, the following tools
are required:
T10 Torx driver - to remove or install modules in the mainframe
T25 Torx driver – remove a mainframe from the equipment rack.
Removing/Installing Modules
WARNING
SHOCK HAZARD. FAN HAZARD. Turn off the mainframe and disconnect its
power cord before attempting any of the following procedures.
CAUTION
Modules must be installed next to one another, starting with slot 1. Do not
leave any empty slots
between
modules, otherwise the power system will not
operate. Any remaining unused slots must have a filler module installed to
ensure proper cooling. Do not install filler modules
between
power modules.
Step 1.
Remove the blower cover. Remove three screws from the top of the
cover and two screws on the sides. Tilt the cover up and slide it out.
Step 2.
To remove a module, first remove the two fastening screws at either
end of the module. Grasp the module at the ends (near the fan and
the output connector), and lift it straight up out of the mainframe.
Step 3.
To install a module,
align the module over the alignment pins, and
push it down onto the mainframe connector. Filler modules install in
the same manner as power modules.
