The test procedures in this subsection are referenced in the troubleshooting section.
A. Safety Precautions
1. Significant DC Voltage exists after removal of input power. Allow two minutes for discharge time. Voltage measured on input
capacitors must be zero before performing service on the power supply.
2. Do Not touch electrical components with any part of the human body when power is applied.
3. Keep away from any moving parts.
4. Hot surfaces can cause severe burns. Allow equipment to cool before servicing.
5. Electrostatic discharge can damage printed circuit board assemblies. Transport printed circuit boards in proper antistatic
shielded packages. Use proper grounding techniques with wrist strap before handling printed circuit boards.
6. Misaligned plugs can cause printed circuit board damage. Be sure plugs are properly aligned and completely seated.
7. Excessive pressure can damage printed circuit boards. Use only minimal pressure and gentle movement when disconnecting
or connecting printed circuit board plugs.
