Keysight N8262A Service Guide

Use a T8 Torx screwdriver bit to remove the four 

screws. Lift and remove PPMC assembly from 

the mother board assembly.

– Step 1: Lift and remove recorder 1 and 

recorder 2 from J31 and J30, which are 

located on the mother board assembly.

– Step 2: Lift and remove power supply cable 

assembly from the mother board.

– Step 3: Disconnect the RS-232 ribbon cable 

from the PPMC assembly.

– Step 4: Disconnect the LAN extension cable 

from PPMC assembly.

Note:

You will be able to remove PPMC assembly at 

this step.
