Mother board removal
Perform the following steps to remove the mother board. This procedure assumes that the

• Unplug the display board ribbon cable from J1014.
• Unplug the cable going to the power supply module from J104.
• Unplug the cables going to the power transformers from J305 and J505.
• Unplug the cable going to the OUTPUT indicator from J105.
• Unplug the wires going to the rear panel VOLTAGE SOURCE OUTPUT jacks 
from J302 and J502.
4. Remove mother board.
Slide the mother board forward slightly until the rear panel connectors clear the 
holes in the rear panel, then remove the board.
During reassembly, replace the mother board, and start the IEEE-488, DIGITAL 
I/O, and RS-232 connector screws and the board mounting screws. Tighten all the 
fasteners once they are all in place and the board is correctly aligned. Be sure to
