General Maintenance
This section contains the information needed to perform periodic and corrective
maintenance on the waveform rasterizer. The following subsections are included:
Preventing ESD — Gener al information on preventing damage by electrostatic
discharge.
Inspection and Cleaning — Information and procedures for inspecting and
cleaning the waveform rasterizer.
Troubleshooting — Information for isolating and troubleshooting failed
modules. Included are instructions for operating the waveform rasterizer
diagnost
ic routines and troubleshooting trees. Most of the trees make use of
the internal diagnostic routines to speed fault isolation to a module.
Repacka
ging Instructions — Information on returning a waveform rasterizer
for service.
Preventing ESD
Before servicing this product, read the Safety Summary and Introduction at the
front of the manual and the ESD information below.
CAUTION. Static discharge can damage any semiconductor component in the
waveform rasterizer.
When performing any service that requires internal ac cess to the waveform
rasterizer, adhere to the following precautions to avoid damaging internal modules
and their components due to electrostatic discharge (ESD).
1. Minimize handling o f static-sensitive circuit boards and components.
2. Transport and store static-sensitive modules in their static protected c ontainers
or on a metal rail. Label any package that contains static-sensitive boards.
3. Discharge the static voltage from your body by wearing a grounded antistatic
wrist strap while handling these modules. Do service of static-sensitive
modules only at a static-free work station.
4. Nothing capable of generating or holding a static charge should b e allowed
on the work station surface.
5. Handle c ircuit boards by the edges when possible.
6. Do not slide the circuit boards over any surface.
7. Avoid handling circuit boards in areas that have a floor or work-surface
covering capable of generating a static charge.
