Installing the Agilent Technologies 11713A Attenuator/Switch Driver

Initial Inspection

1. Unpack and inspect the shipping container and its contents

thoroughly to ensure that nothing was damaged during shipment. If

the shipping container or cushioning material is damaged, the

contents should be checked both mechanically and electrically.

2. If the contents are damaged or defective, contact your nearest

Agilent Technologies Service and Support Office. Refer to the Service

and Support information in the front matter of this manual. Agilent

Technologies will arrange for repair or replacement of the damaged

or defective equipment. Keep the shipping materials for the carrier’s

inspection.

3. If you are returning your instrument for service, repackaging the

attenuator/switch driver requires original shipping containers and

materials or their equivalents. Agilent Technologies can provide

packaging materials identical to the original materials. Refer to

"Service and Support" on page v for the Agilent Technologies nearest

you.

Environmental Limitations

4. Ensure that you meet the environmental limitations for storage and

shipment:

Temperature -55 to 75

Humidity < 90% relative

Altitude < 15,300 meters (50,000 feet)

Preparing for use

Bench Operation

❍ plastic feet shaped to assure self-alignment of the instruments

when stacked

❍ fold-away tilt stands to raise the front of the instrument for easier

viewing of the control panel

If the driver is to be used in a position that requires setting it on the

rear panel, a kit is available (refer to Table 1-3) that includes feet with

mounting screws.

Rack Mounting

6. For rack mounting the instrument, use the rack-adapter kit

half-module. (Refer to Table 1-3).

To install the kit:

❍ Remove the feet and tilt stands.

❍ Remove the side trim strips.

❍ Attach the rack mount flange and flange adapter.
