Storage Space Requirements
Setting up your system requires planning for storage. Obviously, you will need a handling and staging
area for the boards you will be testing. Not so obviously, there are other things that you will need to
store, such as the test fixtures.
Backup media storage
The i3070 system is reliable, but no system is safe against data loss due to system disk or computer
failure. Run system backups at regular intervals. Before the system is installed, plan for backup media
storage in the system area. To be safer still, always place a recent backup in a different area or
building.
Fixture storage
You will have a significant investment in your system fixtures. They are precision machines and must
be kept clean and undamaged. Plan safe and dust-free storage near the testhead for your fixtures.
You will receive a Pin Verification Fixture with the first testhead at your site to use to test the MINT
pins of your systems. Be sure to keep the Pin Verification Fixture in your fixture storage area.
Note the following with respect to fixture storage:
• Don’t store fixtures on painted shelves. The bottom of the fixture will scrape small particles of
paint off the shelf which will fall into and contaminate the testhead’s interface pins.
• If possible, cover your fixtures when not in use, especially when the air contains a high level of
particulates.
• Don’t store fixtures on paper-, cardboard-, or carpet-covered surfaces. These materials could
contain corrosive substances that would react with the fixture’s gold-plated personality pins.
• Don’t store fixtures on wooden shelves. Wood splinters can be carried on the bottom of the
fixture to the testhead, thereby contaminating testhead interface pins.
• Don’t stack fixtures on top of one another.
