Support Strategy
Confirmation and diagnostics software is provided in the system software to
repair and troubleshoot the system and to verify that the system is wired
correctly. The Diagnostics are designed to isolate the cause of a failure to a
field-replaceable unit (FRU), which is usually a VXI module, cable or a
relay. All FRUs are listed in Appendix B, Parts Lists.
Rebuilt exchange assemblies are available for many Agilent VXI modules.
However, there are no exchange assemblies available for the load cards. If a
load card fails, you have two choices: purchase a new load card or
troubleshoot the problem and repair it. If the problem is a relay, and you can
determine which relay is defective, you can repair the module. The relays are
through-hole technology and easy to replace.
Service manuals for most system instruments are installed on the system
computer and can be accessed from Test Exec SL by clicking:

WARNING In troubleshooting the system, voltages capable of causing
bodily injury or death may be encountered. Troubleshooting
must be performed only by service-trained personnel.
