Safety Considerations
This product is a Saf ety Class I instrume nt tha t is provided wit h a prote c ti ve
earth terminal when installed in the mainframe. The mainframe, switch, and
all related documentation should be reviewed for familiarization with safety
markings and i nstructions be f ore operation or serv ice .
Refer to the WARNINGS on page 6 in this manual for a summary of safety
information. Safety information for preventive maintenance, testing, and
service foll ows a nd is also found throughout this ma nual.
WARNINGS and
CAUTIONS
WARNINGSERVICE-TRAINED PERSONNEL ONLY. The information in this
This section cont ai ns W AR N INGS which must be followed for your
protection and CAUTIONS whi c h mus t be followed to avoid dama ge to the
equipment whe n pe rforming instrume nt maintena nc e or re pa ir .
manual is for service-trained personnel who are familiar with
electronic circuitry and are aware of the hazards involved. To
avoid personal injury or damage to the instrument, do not
perform procedures in this manual or do any servicing unless
you are qualified to do so.
CHECK MAINFRAME POWER SETTINGS. Before applying
power, verif y th at the mainf r a me se t ti n g ma tc h e s the line
voltage and that the correct fuse is installed. An uninterruptible
safety earth ground must be provided from the main power
source to t he suppl ie d po we r co rd set.
GROUNDING REQUIREMENTS. Interruption of the protective
(grounding) conductor (inside or outside the mainframe) or
disconnecting the protective earth terminal will cause a
potential shock hazard that could result in personal injury.
(Grounding one conductor of a two-conductor outlet is not
sufficient protection.)
IMPAIRED PROTECTION. Whenever it is likely that instrument
protection has been impaired, the mainframe must be made
inoperative and be se cured against any u n intende d op e rat ion.
REMOVE POWER IF POSSIBLE. Some procedures in this
manual may be performed with power supplied to the
mainframe while prote ct ive cove rs are removed. Ene rgy
available at many points may, if contacted, result in personal
injury. (If maintenance can be performed without power applied,
the power should be removed.)
12 General InformationChapter 1
WARNINGUSING AUTOTRANSFORMERS. If the mainframe is to be
energized via an autotransf or mer (for voltage reduction) make
sure the common terminal is connected to neutral (that is, the
grounded side of the main’s supply).
CAPACITOR VOLTAGES. Capacitors inside the mainframe may
remain charged even when the mainframe has been
disconnected from its source of supply.
USE PROPER FUSES. For continued protection against fire
hazard, replace the line fuses only with fuses of the same
current rating and type (such as normal blow, time delay, etc.).
Do not use repaired fuses or short-circuited fuseholders.
CAUTION Static electricity is a maj o r ca u se o f co mp onent fa il u re . T o
preven t damage to t he electrical comp onents in th e switch,
observe anti-static techniques whenever working on the switch.

Inspection/Shipping
This section c ont ai ns initial (i nc omi ng) inspection and shipping guide lines
for the E1364A Switc h Module.
Initial InspectionUse the steps in F igure 1-2 as guidelines to perfor m initial in spe c ti on of the
switch modul e.
WARNINGTo avoid possible hazardous electrical shock, do not perform
electrical tests if there are signs of shipping damage to the
shipping container or to the instrument.
Shipping GuidelinesFollow the step s in F igure 1-3 to return the E1364A Switch Mod ule
to an Agilent Te ch nol ogies Sales and Suppor t Office or Serv ic e Ce nte r.
1. Prepare the Switch
• Remove user wiring from termi na l mo dule.
• Attach ta g to switch that identi f ie s :
– Owner
– Model Number/Serial Number
– Service Required
• Place tagged device in approved anti-static
bag.
2.
Pack age the Switc h
• Place packaged switch in shipping carton.*
• Place 75 to 100 mm (3 to 4 inches) of
shock-absorbi ng material around t he
module.
• Seal the shippi ng c ontainer securely.
• Mark the shipping container FRAGILE.
3.
Ship the Switch to Hewlett-Packard
• Place address lab el on shi pping carton.
• Send carton to Agilent Technologies .
* We recommen d tha t you use the sam e sh ipping mater ia ls as t hose use d in factory packa ging (avail ab le from
Agilent). For othe r (commercially available) shippi ng materials, use a double-walled carton with minimum 2. 4
MPa (350 psi) te st .

Switch module spe ci fic a tions are listed in Appendix A of th e E1364AUser’s Manual. These specifications are the performance standards or limits
against which the instr ument may be tested.
Switches cover e d by this manual a re identifie d by a seri al number prefix
listed on the title page. Agilent uses a two-part serial number in the form
XXXXAYYYYY, where XXXX is the serial prefix, A is the country of
origin (A=USA), and YYYYY is the serial suffix. The serial number prefix
identifi e s a ser ie s of identical instruments. T he se ri a l number suffix is
assigned sequentially to each instrument.
The serial number plate is located on the backplane connector. If the serial
number prefix o f your instrument is gre a te r tha n the one liste d on the title
page, a Manual Upda te (as re quired) will expla in ho w to a da pt this manual
to your instrument.
