Serial Numbers
Devices covered by this manual are identified by a serial number prefix
listed on the title page. Agilent Technologies uses a two-part serial number
in the form XXXXAYYYYY, where XXXX is the serial prefix, A is the
country of origin (A=USA), and YYYYY is the serial suffix. The serial
number prefix identifies a series of identical instruments. The serial number
suffix is assigned sequentially to each instrument. The serial number plate is
located on the right-hand shield near the backplane connectors.

The Agilent E1463A comes standard with a terminal module consisting of
screw terminals. In addition, a terminal module with solder eye terminals is
available (Option A3G).
