Working With TP5000 Cards
This section describes how to install, remove, and handle the IMC, IOC and IO
cards of the TP5000 probe module. The IMC, IOC and IO cards of the TP5000
probe module are the only field replaceable components for the TimeAnalyzer 7x00.
Handling Cards
When handling any of the cards, observe the following precautions:
1. Use proper static control precautions when handling cards! Protect the
equipment against ESD (electrostatic discharge) by using a grounded protective
wrist strap and normal equipment grounding.
2. Avoid touching component leads and edge connectors.
3. Avoid placing the card on an ungrounded surface.
4. Avoid allowing the card to come in contact with insulated surfaces.
Inserting Cards
This procedure is common for all cards.
Use the following procedure to insert a card into the chassis:
1. Align the card edges within the guides of the selected slot.
2. Slide the card into the chassis and press firmly until it seats fully into its
backplane edge connector.
3. Tighten the captive screws located on each side of the panel.
Caution:
All cards can be removed and inserted while system power
is supplied without damaging cards; however, system performance
may be affected.
Note:
The I/O card does not have captive screws and requires a
Phillips screwdriver.
Caution:
To avoid possible damage or intermittent failures, ensure
that you have completely inserted the card into the chassis and that
you have securely tightened the captive screws.
