This section contains the information needed to do periodic and corrective
maintenance on the mainframe, electrical modules, and optical modules, and
repackaging instructions for returning the products to Tektronix for service.
Preventing ESD
Before servicing this product, read the
General Safety Summary
and
Service
Safety Summary
at the front of the manual.
CAUTION.
Electrostatic discharge can damage semiconductor components in the
instrument or modules.
When performing any service that requires internal access to the instrument,
adhere to the following precautions to avoid damaging internal assemblies and
their components due to electrostatic discharge:
Minimize handling of static-sensitive circuit boards and components.
Transport and store static-sensitive assemblies in their static protected
containers or on a metal rail. Label any package that contains static-sensitive
boards.
Discharge the static voltage from your body by wearing a grounded antistatic
wrist strap while handling these assemblies. Service static-sensitive
assemblies only at a static-free work station.
Discharge cables to ground before connecting them to the instrument or
modules.
Do not create an ESD antenna by leaving cables attached to the instrument
or modules with the other end of the cable open.
Do not place anything capable of generating or holding a static charge on the
work station surface.
Remove sampling modules or module extenders from the DSA8300 before
performing removal or installation procedures on the instrument.
Handle circuit boards by the edges when possible.
Do not slide the circuit boards over any surface.
Avoid handling circuit boards in areas that have a
fl
oor or work-surface
covering capable of generating a static charge.
