Removing Top And Bottom Covers; Front Panel Access; Removing Side Covers - HP 3720A Service Manual

Model 3720A
.2-10 The MC number gives the physical location of
each package in the form of a grid reference.
2-11 With the printed circuit board held compon-
ent side uppermost, and tongued connector near-
est, numbering of the rows and columns of inte
grated circuits starts from the top left hand corner
of the board. The first figure following the MC
prefix gives the row and the second gives the
column. For example, MC52 will lie in the 5th
row down and the 2nd column across, whilst
MC103 will be in the 10th row and 3rd column.
2-1 2 The second method of identification of the
individual 'component blocks' helps the circuit
description and signal flow indication.
2-13 Each 'block' is given a prefix according t o
its function (see Table 2-2 for a full list) and a
number indicating i t s position on the schematic
diagram, in the same manner as resistors, capacitors,
etc, are referenced.

assembly connections. For example, lead 12 on
integrated circuit MC25, on A5 assembly, is
referred t o as A5MC25(12). Similarly when de-
scribing schematics, lead 6 on Flip-flop 9 on
assembly A 2 would be referenced A2FF9(6).
