Keithley field service engineer installation tasks
The Keithley field service engineer (FSE) will perform the following tasks:
Unpack the system components and accessories.
Attach the keyboard arm and monitor arm to the system.
Install the keyboard and the mouse on the keyboard arm, and the monitor on the monitor arm.
Install the cable support arm to the system.
Install the probe card assembly (PCA) (if ordered) on the back of the system cabinet, and the
60190-PCA (probe card assembly) to the correct prober plate (customer-supplied from the prober
company). The prober plate is attached to the prober.
Plug in the system to your power facilities (supplied by your facilities department at the final
location for the S540 system cabinet) and power up the entire cabinet.
Verify communications of all instruments and with the properly configured prober.
Perform diagnostics and system verification tests of the entire S540 system, to include the
60190-PCA (if ordered).
Record all the information on the System Installation Form.
