Replace any shorted assembly.
You can locate the shorted assembly by disconnecting assemblies from the power supply, one at 
a time. Use the power supply distribution chart in table 5-4 as a guide to locating the shorted 
assembly.

Power Supply Distribution

Override the Remote Inhibit signal.
Power up the unit by connecting a resistor between pin 3 and pin 11 of power supply control 
cable W2. Use a resistor in the range of 196-220
Ω, 1/8 W, such as Agilent Technologies 
P/N 0698-3440 or 0757-0407.
See figure 5-4.

Power-up Sense Resistor Connection
Reconnect Assemblies and Cables
Reconnect all assemblies after testing. The oscilloscope must have all cables connected for correct power 
up.
If you want to test the power supply without any assemblies connected, the +5 V supply must be loaded 
to 2 A. Use two 5
Ω, 10W resistors between the +5 V output and ground.
