ESG Series Signal Generators: Part Number E4400-60238
Introduction
This kit enables you to install a replacement CPU/Motherboard and relocate Q501 onto the signal
generator instrument chassis. The relocation of Q501 to the signal generator chassis eliminates the
mechanical stress on this component. You will perform the following major steps:
•check instrument functionality
• disassemble the instrument - external shell, rear panel, PC boards and cables
• remove Q501 and the CPU/Motherboard
• install the new CPU/Motherboard
• install Q501 onto the signal generator’s chassis
• connect Q501 to the CPU/Motherboard
• reassemble, verify, and calibrate the signal generator

Safety Considerations
WARNING Before you disassemble the instrument, turn the power switch off and
disconnect the line cord. Failure to unplug the Signal Generator can
result in personal injury.
CAUTION Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage or destroy electronic components. All
work on electronic assemblies should be performed at a static-safe workstation.
Installation Note E4400-90388 5
Check Instrument Functionality
The functionality check verifies that the signal generator powers up and that the internal instrument
check identifies no errors. The internal check returns an error message if a problem is detected.
1. Turn on power to the signal generator. Let the instrument warm up for at least five minutes.
2. Cycle the power to the signal generator. The green LED should light, and the instrument will
perform a check.
3. When the display illuminates, check to see if the ERR annunciator is on.
NOTE For instruments with Option 1E5, the error message ERROR 514, Reference Oven Cold
occurs whenever the signal generator is first connected to the AC line power. This error cannot
be cleared from the error queue until the internal reference has warmed up (approximately five
minutes).
4. If the ERR annunciator is displayed, review the error messages in the queue by pressing Utility >
Error Info. The first error message in the queue will be shown in the text area of the display. Refer to
the service guide for information about the error message.
If there is more than one error message (each message will be designated as 1 of n, 2 of n, etc.),
continue pressing the View Next Error Message softkey until you have seen all of the messages.
5. When you have resolved all of the error messages, press ClearErrorQueue(s)to delete the messages,
then restart this procedure at step 2.
