Electrostatic discharge can damage electronic components. Use grounded wrist-straps,
mats, and standard ESD precautions when you perform any service to the mainframe or
the modules in it.
For protection against electrostatic discharge (ESD), package the module in ESD-safe
material when returning it to Agilent Technologies for service.

To use the flowcharts

Flowcharts are the primary tool used to isolate defective assemblies. The flowcharts refer
to other tests to help isolate the trouble. The circled numbers on the charts indicate
connections with the other flowchart. Start your troubleshooting at the top of the first
flowchart.
If the module still doesn't work correctly after completing all the procedures described in
the flowchart, return it to Agilent Technologies for repair. Be sure to include a note
describing the problem in detail.
