SAFETY
SUMMARY
The
following
general
safety
precautions
must
be
observed
during
all
phases
of

service,
and
repair
of
this instrument.
Failure
to
comply
with
these
precautions
or
with
specific
warnings
elsewhere
in
this
manual
violates
safety
standards
of
design,
manufacture,
and
intended
use
of
the
instrument.
Hewlett-Packard
Company
assumes
no
liability for
the
customer's
failure
to
comply
with
these
requirements.
This

a
three-conductor
ac
power
cable. The
power
cable
must
either
be
plugg-
ed
into
an
approved
three-contact
electrical
outlet
or used
with
a
three-contact
to
two-contact
adapter
with
the
grounding
wire
(green)
firmly
connected
to
an electrical ground (safety ground)
at
the
power
outlet.
The

not
remove
instrument
covers.
Component
replacement and internal
adjustments
must
be
made

Do
not
replace
components
with
power
cable
con-
nected.
Under
certain
conditions,
dangerous voltages
may
exist
even

avoid injuries,
always
disconnect
power
and discharge
circuits
before
touching
them.
DO
NOT

not
attempt
internal service or
adjustment
unless
another
person, capable
of
rendering
first
aid and
resuscitation,
is
present.
DO
NOT
SUBSTITUTE
PARTS
OR
MOlliFY
INSTRUMENT
Because
of
the
danger
of
introducing
additional hazards,
do
not
install
substitute
parts
or
perform
any
unauthorized
modification
to
the
instrument.
Return
the
instrument
to
a
Hewlett-Packard
Sales and Ser-
vice
Office
for
service and repair
to
ensure
that
safety
features
are maintained.
DO
NOT

Introduction
Installing the
HP
3235
This manual provides instructions
for
service-trained personnel to install the
HP 3235 Switch/Test Unit (STU) and Switch/Test
Unit
Extenders. Installation
is
in two parts:
1.
Procedures required
to
set-up the STU system and begin using the
HP
3235
User Training Guide.
2.
Procedures
that
are application dependent and follow initial set-up, training,
and familiarization with the STU system.
Following
is
a summary
of
the procedures contained in each
part
• Set the power requirements on the mainframe (line voltage, fuse,
etc.).
NOTE: Extender frames are not required
for
training.
• Set the frame address
to
zero on the mainframe.
• Connect
the
HP-IB interface from mainframe
to
your system controller.
• Connect the optional control panel (if you have one)
to
the mainframe.
• Install plug-in modules in the mainframe and record the slot number
they
are installed
in.
• Apply power
to
the mainframe.
After completing the installation procedures
of
Part
1,
the system
is
now set up
for
you
to
begin
the
training lessons
in
the User Training Guide (HP
P/N
03235-90006). When finished with the training lessons, you will have an under-
standing
of
the
STU and plug-in module operation.
At
this time, you define
the
test requirement/STU system cabling and proceed with the installation
procedures
of
Part
2.
Part
luslallalion
procedm·es
thai
are application dependent.
• Floating user side ground.
• Installing extender frames if part
of
the system.
• Installing a Bus Access module (mainframe only system).
• Installing Extender modules and digital extender cables (mainframe with
extender frame system).
• Installing analog bus extender cables.
• Installing feedthrough panels.
• Terminal block preparation and connection
of
field wiring.
• Connecting terminal blocks
to
modules.
• Installing
the
optional quick interconnect fixture.
• Rack mounting mainframes
or
extenders.
• Rack mounting the optional control panel.

Disconnecting a terminal block from an uninsra/led plug-in module
(one not

if
;mpruperly dis-
connected. For terminal blocks
nor

must
be
slowly
actil•ated

This causes the terminal
block to lorm a lever arm pivo/;ng on the still engaged end. Large

Also, when disconnecting a terminal block from an installed plug-in module, use

STU
Description
Installing the
HP
3235
4
The
HP
3235 Switch/Test Unit (STU)
is
a 10-slot programmable mainframe.
There are
two
sideYs
to
the
STU:
the
system side
and
the
user's side.
The
system
side contains the system modules (crossguard, processor, controller interface,
bus
access
or
option 560
extender
module, and
power
supply). Frames
are
shipped
with all system modules insta1led except the
bus
access or extender n1odules.
Figure 3 shows
the
system side with an option 560
Extender
module installed (has
two
digital extender connectors).
Various plug-in modules
for
the user side can
be
selected
to
fit
your application.
You install these modules into the user side card cage and
connect
the field
wiring to terminal blocks which mate to the modules. Figure 3 shows the
user
side with the
option
590 quick interconnect mechanism handles visible.
If
more
than ten modules
are
required, an STU Extender
can
be
added
to
the
system
providing ten more slots (you
can
add up
to
seven extenders
to
a mainframe).
Procedures
for
connecting extenders in
the
system are
contained
in
the
part
2 in-
stallation procedures.

If
any
of
these items (or
other
parts) are missing
or
were damaged in transit, im-
mediately report the problem
to
your local HP sales
office
(see the list in
the
back
of
this manual). Additionally, if there was transit damage, file a claim with
the carrier. If the shipping container
or
cushioning material
is
damaged,
it
should
be kept until the contents
of
the shipment have been checked
for
completeness
and
the instrument(s) have been mechanically and electronically inspected.
Information
on
the HP 3235 self test
is
contained
in
Chapter
13
of
the
Programming and Systems Information Manual. Procedures
for
checking the
electrical performance
of
your HP 3235
are
given in the
HP
3235 Service
Manual.

fcaturc.J·
are
maintained.
Each HP 3235 has a serial number located on a plate beneath
the
fan
grill
on
the
system side. This serial number has the
form
XXXXAYYYYY
where
XXXX
is
the serial number prefix, A
is
the country
of
origin
(A
= USA),
and
YYYYY
is
the serial suffix.
Each plug-in module and system module has a serial number located
on
a label
on the module. The serial number has the
form
XXXXAYYYYY like
the
HP
3235 frame. An ERC (engineering revision code) label
is
also
on
each plug-in
module. The ERC number changes with any circuit modification to
identify
the
circuit version present.
We recommend you keep a separate record
for
these serial numbers. Should
your instrument(s)
be
lost
or
stolen, the complete serial number
is
often
necessary
for
tracing, recovery, and insurance claims.
You may have your
HP
3235 and plug-in modules repaired
at
an
HP
service cen-
ter at any time, whether under warranty or not. There
is
a charge
for
repairs
af-
ter the warranty period. Contact your local HP Sales and Service
Office
for
in-
structions prior to shipping the instrument. A list
of
Sales
and
Service Offices
is
located at the back
of
this manual.
Should you ever need
to
ship your HP 3235, remove the plug-in modules
from
the user side
of
the frame and package them separately. Use clean handling and
antistatic techniques when removing, handling, and packaging
the
plug-in
modules. WRAP
THE
MODULES
IN
ANTISTATIC BAGS. Be certain
that
the
mainframe and each module
is
packaged
in
a protective package (use
the
original
shipping container and cushioning material if possible)
to
avoid transit damage.
Such damage
is
not covered by warranty.
Attach a tag to the instrument
or
module identifying the
owner
and
indicating
the service
or
repair needed. Include the model and serial
number
of
the
instru-
ment
and/or
plug-in modules. In any correspondence, identify
the
instrument by
model number and full serial number. We suggest that you always insure ship-
ments.
