Preparing the Power Supply
Checking the power supply
1 Check the shipped items.
Verify that you have received the items listed in “Standard
Shipped Items” on page 6. If anything is missing or
damaged, contact your nearest Agilent Sales Office.
2 Connect the power cord and turn on the power supply.
The front panel display will light up briefly while the
power supply performs its power- on self- test. The GPIB
address is also displayed. To review the power- on display
with all annunciators turned on, hold down
as you
turn on the power supply. If the power supply does not
turn on properly, refer to
“Connecting power to the power
supply” on page 9.
3 Perform a complete self- test.
The complete self- test performs a more extensive set of
tests than those performed at power- on. Hold down
as you turn on the power supply and hold down the key
until you hear a long beep. The self- test will begin when
you release the key following the beep.
If the self- test fails, refer to Chapter 8, “Service and
Maintenance” for instructions on returning the power
supply to Agilent for service.

NOTE
The power supply is shipped from the factory with a power-line cord that
has a plug appropriate for your location. Your power supply is equipped
with a 3-wire grounding type power cord; the third conductor being the
ground. The power supply is grounded only when the power-line cord is
plugged into an appropriate receptacle. Do not operate your power supply
without adequate cabinet ground connection.
