Maintenance
This section contains the information needed to do periodic and corrective
maintenance on the oscilloscope. The following subsections are included:
! Preventing ESD — General information on preventing damage by electros-
tatic discharge.
! Inspection and Cleaning — Information and procedures for inspecting the
oscilloscope and cleaning its external and internal modules.
! Removal and Installation Procedures — Procedures for the removal of
defective modules and replacement of new or repaired modules. Also
included is a procedure for disassembly of the oscilloscope for cleaning.
! Troubleshooting — Information for isolating and troubleshooting failed
modules. Included are instructions for operating the oscilloscope diagnostic
routines and troubleshooting trees. Most of the trees make use of the internal
diagnostic routines to speed fault isolation to a module.

Preventing ESD
Before servicing this product, read the Safety Summary and Introduction at the
front of the manual and the ESD information below.
CAUTION. To prevent damaging from static discharge to the semiconductor
components in this oscilloscope, read the following steps.
When performing any service which requires internal access to the oscilloscope,
adhere to the following precautions to avoid damaging internal modules and their
components due to electrostatic discharge (ESD).
1. Minimize handling of static-sensitive circuit boards and components.
2. Transport and store static-sensitive modules in their static protected
containers 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 st atic-sensitive
modules only at a static-free work station.
