A22 Processor Assembly
CAUTION Use ESD precautions when performing this replacement procedure.
NOTE The processor assembly consists of three separate boards: the A22 CPU
(processor) board, the A22A1 DRAM board, and the A22A2 Flash board.
Earlier instruments (serial prefix US3948 and below) also have an
A22A3 GP-IB capacitor board. The Flash memory board contains data
that is pertinent to your particular instrument. If you are changing a
faulty CPU board, you must transfer the two smaller boards over to the
new CPU board. Refer to the “A22A1 DRAM, A22A2 Flash, and A22A3
GP-IB Capacitor Boards” removal and replacement procedure. After the
boards are installed on the new processor board, refer to the procedure
in Chapter 5 for information on transferring data to the new processor.
