Removing and Installing Modules
The following sections describe how to safely remove and install a
module on your oscilloscope.
Preventing Electrostatic Damage
CAUTION. Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage components in
the extension module and the oscilloscope. To prevent ESD, follow
the steps below when installing, removing, or handling the extension
modules:
1. Always turn off the oscilloscope before removing or installing
extension modules.
2. Handle extension modules as little as possible.
3. Transport and store extension modules in a static-protected bag
or container.
4. Do not slide the extension module over any surface
5. Wear a grounded antistatic wrist strap to discharge the static
voltage from your body while installing or removing an extension
module from the oscilloscope.
6. Do not touch the oscilloscope extension module connector pins.
7. Do not use any devices capable of generating or holding a static
charge in the work area where you install or remove extension
modules.
8. Avoid handling modules in areas that have a floor or work-sur-
face covering capable of generating a static charge.
9. Make sure that you install the extension module cover after you
remove an extension module.
