1. Description:

DFA's must be transferred from the shipping fixture to a ringframe for further survey and testing.

2. Steps:

• Use ringframes with rails on both sides to make it easier to position the upilex and turn the DFA over if needed.
• Recheck the G-10 to make sure it fits properly in ringframe. Use the 1/8 inch dowel pins to hold the G-10 in the ringframe, and the 2 mm dowels pins to hold the Upilex in its proper position.
• Make sure ringframe is clean and assembled properly, and a black box labeled with the DFA name is readily available.
• Transfer the DFA to the ringframe. Tighten down the clamps and place the upilex on the 2 mm dowels pins.
• Place clear plastic covers over wafers on both sides for protection.
• Write the DFA number on both sides of the ringframe. (I usually put it on the end located near the bias connector, because no rails or plastic covers cover this area.)
