Safety Considerations
The Agilent 6610xA Power Modules are Safety Class 1 instruments that connect to a protective earth terminal when
properly installed in an Agilent 66000A MPS Mainframe. Refer to the Safety Summary page at the beginning of this manual
for general safety procedures and the meaning of safety symbols appearing in the manual and on the module.
Electrostatic Discharge
The Modular Power System has components that can be damaged by ESD (electrostatic discharge).
Failure to observe standard anti-static practices can result in serious degradation of performance even
when complete failure does not occur.
When working on the Modular Power System, observe all anti-static work practices. This includes, but is not limited to:
■ Working at a static-free station, such as a table covered with static-dissipative laminate or with a conductive table mat
(Agilent p/n 9300-0797).
■ Using a conductive wrist strap (Agilent p/n 9300-0969 or 9300-0970).
■ Grounding all metal equipment at the station to a single, common ground.
■ Connecting low-impedance test equipment to static sensitive components only when those components have power
applied to them.
■ Removing power from the Modular Power System before removing or installing printed circuit boards.
Service Tools and Equipment
The following tools are required to repair the Agilent 6610xA MPS Modules:
■ T10 TORX driver
■ 7mm HEX NUT drivers
■ #2 POZI driver
■ Slot-head screwdriver - medium
■ DIP component removal tool
