Preparing the Power Supply
Preliminary checkout
1 Verify the power- line voltage setting on the rear panel.
The power- line voltage is set to the proper value for your
country when the power supply is shipped from the
factory. Change the voltage setting if it is not correct. The
settings are 100 Vac, 115 Vac, or 230 Vac.
2 Verify that the correct power- line fuse is installed.
The correct fuse is installed for your country when the
power supply is shipped from the factory. For 100 Vac or
115 Vac operation, you must use a 4 AT fuse. For 230 Vac
operation, you must use a 2.5 AT fuse.
3 Connect the power- line cord and turn on your power
supply.
The front- panel display will light up and a power- on
self- test occurs automatically when you turn on the power
supply.
NOTE
• Refer to “Power-line voltage selection” on page 14 if you need to
change the power-line voltage or the power-line fuse.
• To replace the 4 AT fuse, order Agilent part number 2110-0996.
• To replace the 2.5 AT fuse, order Agilent part number 2110-0999.
