Tools Required; Cover Removal - HP 16500A Service Manual

6-9. Tools Required

Most hardware requires TORX tools in sizes #10, #15, and #25. Also needed is an 8-mm nut driver and
a Pozidriv #2 screwdriver.

6-10. Cover Removal

There are four outside covers on the HP 16500A and on the HP 16501A, a top cover, a bottom cover,
and two side covers.
When removing the covers, note where the shielding braid is located. If the shielding braid separates
from the covers, reinstall it when replacing the covers. The shielding braid helps the instrument meet EMI
(electromagnetic interference) specifications.
1. Remove the four rear feet. The screws connecting the feet to the frame are accessible through the
holes in the end of the feet.
2. Loosen the screw in the rear of the top cover. If a captive screw was used, loosening the screw will
pull the cover back. When the screw is completely loose from the frame, slide the cover off.
3. Remove the side strap handle. Note that the handle is rounded on the side closest to the
instrument. Reinstall the handle with the same side toward the instrument.
4. To remove the bottom cover, turn the instrument on its side, then loosen the screw in the rear of the
bottom cover. If a captive screw was used, loosening the screw will pull the cover back. When the
screw is completely loose from the frame, slide the cover off.
5. Replace the covers by reversing this procedure.
