C.6 MCT HANDLER SETUP
NOTE
The Delta handler does not require that
any of its circuit boards be altered. This
section refers only to the MCT handler.
Setting up the MCT handler for use with the 298 requires
two procedures: 1) Altering the Opto-lnterface Board and
2) setting the binning switches. These procedures are
described in the MCT handler interface kit manual,
(10-950-0102-001 ), and in section 1 of the MCT handler
manual.
C.7 SYSTEM SETUP
This section of the appendix describes how to set up the
298 with a handler. Although the Delta and MCT handlers
do not look the same, system setup is similar. Following is
a list of the procedures which set up the components of
the system for operation:
• Installing the Handler UniPak™ in the 298 (see section 2
of this manual for procedure)
• Connecting the Handler UniPak™ to the performance
board (section C.7 .1)
• !nsta!!ing the performance board to the hand!er {section
C.7.2)
• Connecting the 298 control cable to the handler (section
C.7.3)
• Connecting a computer or terminal to the 298 (section
C.7.4).
To set up the 298/handler system, refer to figures C-4

C.7.1 CONNECTING THE HANDLER UNIPAKTM TO
THE PERFORMANCE BOARD
The Handler UniPak™ connects to the performance board
via a 50-pin ribbon cable. The cable/performance board
functions much like a socket adapter, sending the
programming signals to the handler.
To connect the cable, proceed as follows:
1. Ensure that the connector tabs on the top of the
Handler UniPak™ are snapped out (see figure C-4).
2. With the colored sidestrip (indicating pin 1) of the cable
on the left, insert the 50-pin ribbon cable into the
Handler UniPak™'s connector.
3. Ensure that the connector tabs on the Handler UniPak™
are now snapped in.
NOTE
Pin 1 is marked on both the ribbon cable
and the connector. On the Handler
UniPak™'s connector, the pin designator
is on the underside and to the left (see
figure C-2).
4. Ensure that the connector tabs on the performance
board are snapped out (see figure C-4).
5. Insert the 50-pin ribbon cable into the connector on the
performance board. Ensure that the colored sidestrip
(indicating pin 1) of the cable is on the same side as pin
1 indication on the performance board. Ensure that the
connector tabs are now snapped back in.
