HISTORY OF COMPONENT LEVEL INFORMATION PACKETS (CLIPS)
In the early 1980's, Hewlett-Packard made an cmler of magnitude improvement in the qualify and reliability of HP Digital MuLlimc:lcn:,
These improvcmcnlS resulted from an HP-widc objective of. XIOqualily ImptoYcment in hardware prcxlUCI.$. HP DMMs introduced du ring
the 1980s have very low (ailure rale5 ;u a result 0( the reliability improvemc:nts.
This dramatic improvement in (ailure ratescallSed HP 10 change from I tOCI'IponenL level I'Cpilir strategy loan assembly level repai r siralegy
on most new products including the HP 3458A. Assemb ly level repair is more cost erfwive.
Customers, such as the US Armed Forces, request component level doc\Imenl.S enabling thcm 10 do their own componcnllevel repairs.
For this reason, HP provides Component Level lnfonnation Packets (CU PS) on selected products Including the HP 34S8A. The HP 3458A
CUP contains the following documents: 1) schematics, 2) component Iocato" Ind 3) pat1S lists for each printed circuit assembly.

PACKAGE
DO IT YOURSELF COMPONENT LEVEL REPAIRS
In the early 1980s, Hewlett-Packard made an order of magnitude improvement in the quality and
reliability of HP Digital Multimeters. These improvements resulted from an l'lP-wide objective of a
X10 quality improvement in hardware products. HP DMMs introduced during the 1980s have very
low failure rates as a result of the reliability improvements.
This dramatic improvement in failure rates caused HP to change from a component level repair
strategy to an assembly level repair strategy on most neW products including the HP 3458A. Assembly
level repair is more cost effective.
Customers, such as the US Armed Forces, request component level documents enabling them to do
their own component level repairs. For this reason, HP provides Component Level Information
Packages (CLIPS) on selected products induding the HP 3458A. The HP 3458A CLIP contains the
following documents: 1) schematics, 2) component locators and 3) parts lists for each printed circuit
assembly.
HP 3458A REPAIR STRATEGY
The HP 3458A System DMM repair strategy is assembly replacement for less expensive assemblies
and assembly exchange for more expensive assemblies. Assembly exchange requires diagnosis of failure
to the assembly level and exchange of the failed assembly for a rebuilt assembly. HP does not support
HP Repair Centers or HP customers in doing HP 3458A component level repairs.
