Instructions to replace the A/D Converter and Inguard Logic Assembly (A3)
These instructions are intended for the replacement of the A3 assembly in the 3458A that has been
diagnosed with the short term drift problem described in Service Note 3458A-18.
After completing the A3 assembly replacement the 3458A needs to be warmed up for 4 hours in
its operating environment and an ACAL ALL initiated.
The ACAL ALL will adjust the 3458A to its internal references and it will be ready to make
accurate measurements. Where necessary, a DC Gain Adjustment may be required. (see 3458A
Multimeter Calibration Manual P/N 03458-90017 on the Agilent web at:
http://cp.literature.agilent.com/litweb/pdf/03458-90017.pdf)
This document contains general precautions that should be utilized when the 3458A is opened for
internal service procedures.
WARNING
Only personnel with knowledge of electronic circuitry and an awareness of the hazards involved
should remove and install any printed circuit board assemblies.
Caution: To prevent equipment circuit damage, always remove the AC line power cord before
removing or replacing any assembly. To prevent electrostatic discharge (ESD) damage to ICs,
always observe anti-static techniques when assemblies are handled or serviced.
Static Handling
Static electricity is a familiar phenomenon which, except for an occasional shock, doesn't seem
very serious. However, it has been proven that in the electronics industry ESD is a major cause of
component failure. In many cases, the component damaged may not immediately fai, causing low
instrument reliability and future repairs. ESD damage can occur at static levels below human
perception. It has also been shown that ESD can affect both passive and active devices.
The following guidelines are the minimum requirements for static safe service environments:
! The workbench should be equipped with a conductive table mat. The mat
should be grounded to earth ground through a 1 M ohm resistor. The mat should
be equipped with at least one swivel connector for connecting wrist straps.
! All service and handling personnel should wear a conductive wrist strap in
contact with bare skin. This strap should be connected to the swivel connector
on the conductive table mat through a 1 M ohm resistor.
! All metal equipment at the workstation must be grounded. This includes
soldering irons, solder removers, shelving and equipment stands.
! Only one common ground should be provided at the workstation.
! The workstation should be kept free of nonconductors. No common plastics,
polybags, cardboards, cigarette or candy wrappers should be allowed. There
should not be rugs or carpet on the floor, shelving or bench top.
! Only proper containers should be used for shipping, storing, or transporting
assemblies. This is required on any assembly shipped to Agilent Technologies
for repair or replacement.
Clean Handling
Due to the accuracy of the 3458A, use the following clean handling techniques when
removing/installing printed circuit board assemblies.
! Hand the assemblies only by their edges.
! Be sure to place them on a clean workbench away from dirty or dusty
conditions.
A3 Replacement Service Procedure
The following procedures describe how to remove the bottom cover and shields on the
3458A. Removal of the cover and shields are required to replace the printed circuit board
assemblies (A3) for this repair.
Tools Required
1. #1 Pozidriv screwdriver
2. #TX15 Torx driver
3. #TX10 Torx driver
Covers Removal Procedure
1. Remove all connections to the 3458A.
2. Remove AC power to the 3458A.
3. Turn the instrument so its right side (as seen from the front) faces you. Use the
#1 Pozidriv to remove the right side handle strap screws. Then remove the

6. Remove the cover ground screw.
7. Turn the instrument so its rear is facing you
8. Use the #TX15 Torx driver to remove the 4 rear bezel screws. Then remove the
rear bezel.
9. Turn over the 3458A so the top sits on your workbench. To remove the bottom
cover, pull the cover toward the rear of the instrument until it clears the front
panel. Then, slide it forward and away from the instrument. Leave the
instrument in this position
10. Use the #TX10 Torx driver to remove the bottom shield screw. Then remove
the shield. Pull the shield toward the rear of the instrument until the shield
retainers line up with the slots on the shield. Lift the shield off

2. Place the A3 shield on the board. Use the #TX10 Torx driver to install the 3 screws on
the shield. Install the 2 screws that hold down the A3 assembly.
3. Locate the grey 20-pin cable connected to the Inguard Power Supply assembly. Line
up the cable assembly with the socket on the A3 and fully engage the cable.
4. Locate the grey 20-pin cable connected to the DC Circuitry assembly. Line up the
cable assembly with the socket on the A3 and fully engage the cable.
5. Plug in both sets of grey and blue fiber optic cables into the corresponding sockets on
the A3 assembly.
