Throughout this manual, the term module appears . A module is composed of
electrical and mechanical assemblies, circuit cards, interconnecting cables, and a
user-accessible front panel. References to a module are different than references
to products such as “Sampling modules”, “Phase Reference modules”, or
“Accessory modules”, which are products installed in the instrument compart-
ments.
This manual refers to any field-replaceable assembly or mechanical part by its
name or generically as a replaceable part. In general, a replaceable part is any
circuit board or assembly, such as a hard disk drive, or a mechanical part, such as
I/O port connectors, that is listed in the replaceable parts list of Chapter 8.
