Antistatic Precautions - HP 64782 Series Manual

Chapter 1: Preparing the Emulator

Antistatic precautions

Printed-circuit boards contain electrical components that are easily damaged by
small amounts of static electricity. To avoid damage to the emulator boards, follow
these guidelines:
•
•
•
Note If you already have a modular HP 64700-Series Card Cage and want to remove the
existing emulator and insert an HP 64782 emulator in its place, the
HP 64700-Series generic firmware and analyzer firmware may NOT be
compatible, and the software will indicate incompatibility. In this event, you must
purchase a Flash EPROM board to update the firmware. Instructions for installing
this board and programming it from a PC or HP 9000 are provided in the HP 64700
Card Cage Installation/Service manual. Instructions for installing and updating
emulator firmware are covered in Chapter 5, "Installing/Updating Emulator
Firmware" in this manual.
Note
If you already have a modular HP 64700-Series Card Cage and want to remove the
1K analyzer and install the deep analyzer in its place, the analyzer firmware will be
updated by your installation because the analyzer firmware is contained on the
analyzer card.

If possible, work at a static-free workstation.
Handle the boards only by the edges; do not touch components or traces.
Use a grounding wrist strap that is connected to the HP 64700 chassis.
