EX7000 Series Basic Operation 29
Installation is in the reverse order. Carefully insert the multi-pin connector end of the switch into
the opening, turning the switch module to arrange the two alignment pins to be on the top side of
the switch. Insert straight back until the blind mating connector alignment pins engage. Once these
alignment pins are engaged, press firmly until the switch slides in flush with the EX71HD front
panel. Insert and tighten the four 2-56 hex head cap screws.
Following the mechanical installation, the EX72HD needs to have its DCF updated. This will not
be necessary for cases where a switch is simply replaced with another of the same model. The
DCF tells the internal control and drive circuitry exactly what is connected to each port of the unit.
Updating the DCF is accomplished by running the System Configurator and following the
intuitive prompts. See Appendix A for more details on using the System Configurator.
Alternatively, the new DCF can be generated by the factory and downloaded over the Internet.
Consult the factory for details.
EX72SF
The EX7SF enclosure , shown in Figure 1-2,can accommodate a large number and various types
of Agilent latching switch modules. The upper six switch mounting locations, designated SW1 to
SW6, are designed for SPDT switches. The lower six switch mounting locations, designated SW7
to SW12, are designed for SP4T, SP6T, and transfer switches.
The following table provides the switch model choices for these sections:

TABLE 3-2: EX72SF SWITCH MODULES
The SPDT switches are mounted on special carriers for installation into the EX72SF and are
delivered this way if ordered separately from the factory. The SP4T and SP6T switches mount
directly in the lower openings and do not require any special carriers. The transfer switches do not
