To install modules
The following steps give general instructions for installing modules into the mainframe or the
expansion frame of the system.
C A U T I O N
Electrostatic discharge can damage electronic components. Use grounded wriststraps and
mats when performing any service to modules.
1 Turn off the frame power switch, then unplug the power cord. Disconnect any input
or output connections.
2 Plan your module configuration.
Refer to the manuals of individual modules for configuration information.
3 Loosen the thumb screws.
Cards or filler panels below the slots intended for installation do not have to be removed.
Starting from the top, loosen the thumb screws on filler panels and cards that need to be
moved.
4 Starting from the top, pull the cards and filler panels that need to be moved halfway
out.
All multicard modules will be cabled together. To prevent damage to the cables and
connectors, pull these cards out together.
5 Remove the cards and filler panels.
Remove the cards or filler panels that are in the slots intended for the module installation.
Some modules for the logic analysis system require calibration if you move them to a different
slot. Refer to the manuals of individual modules for calibration information.
6 Install the module.
You may need to push all other cards into the card cage, but not completely in, to get them
out of the way for installing the module.
Refer to the manuals of individual modules for cabling information.
7 Slide the complete module into the frame, but not completely in.
Each card is firmly seated and tightened one at a time in step 9.
8 Position all cards and filler panels so that the endplates overlap.
9 Seat the cards and tighten the thumbscrews.
Starting with the bottom card, firmly seat the cards into the backplane connector of the
mainframe. Keep applying pressure to the center of the card endplate while tightening the
thumbscrews finger-tight. Repeat this for all cards and filler panels starting at the bottom and
moving to the top.
C A U T I O N
For correct air circulation, filler panels must be installed in all unused card slots. Correct air
circulation keeps the instrument from overheating. Keep any extra filler panels for future use.
10 Plug in the system, then turn it on.
When you turn on the power switch, the logic analysis system performs power-up tests. After
the power-up tests are complete, the screen will show your system configuration.
