Power on the
Instrument
Make sure no mechanical damages on the instrument, then you can perform
the following procedure to verify that the instrument is in proper working
order.
1. Connect the instrument to an AC power source with the supplied
power cord.
2. Push the Power switch to power on the instrument.
3. On power-up, every segment in the display should light up briefly.
The internal self-test will begin following this “starburst” display.
4. If the self-test passes, the default system mode and the GPIB address
are displayed, together with a “beep” sound. Then the display shows
the instrument model number.
Note If the instrument failed the self-test, contact your nearest Agilent
Technologies Sales Office.
If the Instrument
Does Not Turn On
1. Verify that the power cord is firmly plugged into the power receptacle
on the rear panel of the instrument.
2. Make sure that the power source the instrument is plugged into is
energized.
3. Verify that the instrument is turned on.
Note If the instrument DOES NOT turn on after you perform the above
procedure, contact your nearest Agilent Technologies Sales Office.
Module Installation
WARNING Only qualified personnel should install or remove the plug-in
modules into or from an Agilent 3499A/B/C mainframe. Make
sure to disconnect the power cord from the back of the
mainframe prior to installing or removing any modules.
Caution Use anti-static procedures when configuring, installing or
removing any plug-in modules. To prevent contamination to the
modules that could degrade performance, handle the modules
by the side edges or shields only. Do not touch the board
surfaces or components.
Module Installation Upon receipt of an Agilent 3499A/B/C mainframe, the plug-in modules you
ordered were not installed in the mainframe. In addition, the terminal
block(s) and/or the cables ordered for wiring external test circuits are also
separated from your modules.
