Initial Inspection
Inspect the shipping con tainer for dama ge. If the contai ner or cushioning
material is damaged, k eep it unt il the cont ents of the sh ipment have been
checked for completeness and the instrument has been verified both
mechanically and electrically.
WARNING:To avoid hazardous electric shock, do not perform electrical
tests when there are signs of shipping damage to any part of
the instrument’s outer covers or panels.
If the contents are incomplete, or there is mechanical damage, or if the
instrument doe s not work as expected with in its s pecificati ons, notify the
nearest Hewlett-Packard office. (please request the latest performance
tests from Hewlett Packard) Keep the shipping materials for inspection
by the carrier. The HP office will arrange for repair or replacement without awaiting settlement.

CAUTION:BEFORE APPLYING AC LINE POWER TO THE
INSTRUMENT, ensure that the corr ect l ine f use is i nstal led in th e
fuse holder and the correct power cable is fitted.
NOTE:When the front panel switch is off, the Mainframe is in ’Standby’
mode. Disconnection from the AC Line Power is accomplished
only by disconnecting the power cord. Please make sure that the
power cord is easily i dentifiabl e and can quick ly be reached b y the
operator.
The following symbol is close to the ‘Standby’ switch on the front panel
of the instrument.
Figure 4 The ‘Standby’ Switch Symbol
The instrument can operate from any single-phase AC power source
supplying 100 - 240 V in the frequ ency ran ge from 50 t o 60 Hz, or 10 0 120 V at 400 Hz. The maximum power consumption is 300 VA with all
options installed. W hen the instrument is switched on the power supply
adapts automatically to the applied AC power (Auto Selection) and
monitors the AC power range during operation.

Power Cable
Power Cable
In accordance with international safety standards, this instrument is
equipped with a three-wire power cable, see Figure 6 on page 22 for the
part numbers of the power cables available. When connected to an
appropriate AC power recepta cl e, thi s ca ble grou nds the instrument cabinet.
WARNING:To avoid the possibility of injury or death, the precautionary
Warnings given on the inside front-cover of the manual must
be followed b efore the instr ument is switch ed on.
The instrume nt is fitted with three cooling fans. Make sure that there is
adequate clearance of 80 mm at the rear and 25 mm at the top and bottom to ensure a dequate air flow. If the air flow is restricted th e internal
operating temperature will be higher, reducing the instrument’s reliability or causing the instrument’s thermal-protection circuits to automatically switch off the instrument.
NOTE:Do not cover the ventilation holes.

Overheating Detection
Installation & Safety Requirements
Ventilatio n Requirements
The instrument monitors its internal temperature. If the temperature
exceeds approximately 80
instrument will switch on again if the temperature falls below approximately 77
°C.
°C the power supply is switched off. The
Fan Failure
If a fan is broken or prevented from operating by a blockage the temperature will increase. When the temperature exceeds approximately 80
the overheating detection switches off the instrument for safety reasons.
For reliability it is recommended to send instruments with broken or
defective fans immediately to HP Service for repair.

Battery
Battery
This instrument contains a lithiu m battery. Typical life time of the battery in the HP Mainframe is about 5 years.
NOTE:Recycle or dispose used batteries according to local regulations.
Or contact your Hewlett-Packard r epresentative for in formation
on battery recycling.
(In the USA and Canada, call 1-800-333-1917)
The battery is replaceable. Replacement should only be carried out by qualified service personnel.
NOTE:There is a danger of explosion if the battery is incorrectly r eplaced.
The battery must be replaced with the same or equivalent batter y type:
A Lithium CR2477-N type battery.
The HP replacement part number is: 1420-0557
The battery is protected against charging.
CAUTION:Do NOT crush, puncture, or incinerate the battery. Do NOT short
NOTE:Disconnect the power cord from ac line v oltage to avoid elect rica l
shock.
1Remove the bumper which is fitted to the front panel.
2Remove the strips on the left and right side of the front panel.
3Remove t he front panel which is secured with two screws at each side.
4Disconnect the flat cable which connects the front panel to the
chassis.
5On the right side of the chassis there is a cover secured with one
screw. Remove this cover.
6Now the battery can be removed from the battery holder. It is
recommended to bush th e battery on th e top, and to pull the battery on
the bottom with one finger for easier removal.
7Fit the new battery in the holder, take care to not short current the
battery on the chassis.
8Fit the cover again and secure it with the screw to the chassis.
9Re-connect the flat cable of the front panel again to the chassis
connector. Make sure th at the pin one ( red wire) is po inting to the mid
of the chassis.
10 Re-assemble the front cover.
11 Fit the strips to the sides of the front panel, again.
12 Fit the bumper to the front panel.
13 End of procedure.

Safety Information
Safety Information
Safety
This is a Safety Class 1 instrument (p rovided with terminal for protective earthing). Before applying power, verify that the correct safety precautions are taken (s ee the following warnings). In addition, note the
external markings on the instrument that are described under Safety
Symbols. Do not operate the instrument with its covers removed.
Replace fuse only with specified type.
Warning
Before turning on the instrument, you must connect the protective earth
terminal of the instrument to the prot ective earth conductor of the
(mains) power cord. The mains plug must only be inserted in a socket
outlet with aprotect ive ear th cont act. Do n ot ne gate th e protect iv e acti on
by using an extension power cord without a protective grounding conductor. Grounding one conductor of a two-conductor outlet is not sufficient protection.
Service instructions are for trained service personnel. To avoid dangerous electric shock, do not perform any service unless qualified to do so.
Do not attempt internal service or adjustment unless another person,
capable of rendering first aid and resuscitation, is present.
If you energize this instrument using an auto-transformer (for voltage
reduction) make sure that the common ter minal is connect ed to the earth
terminal of the power source.
Whenever it is likely that the ground protection is impaired, you must
make the instrument inoperative and secure it against any unintended
operation.
Do not operate the instrument in the presence of flammable gases or
fumes. Operation of any electrical instrument in such an environment
Do not install subst it ute parts or perform any unauthorized modificati on
to the instrumen t.
Capacitors inside the ins trument may retain a charge even if th e instrument is disconnected from its source of supply.
