WARNINGS

The following gener al safety precautions must b e observed during all phases of operation, service, and repair of this product. Failure to comply with these precautions or with specific warnings elsewhere in this manual violates safety standards of design, manufacture, and intended use of the product. Hewlett-Packar d Company assumes no liabilit y for the customer's failu re to comply with these requi rements.

Ground the equipment: For Safety Class 1 equipment (equipment having a protective earth terminal), an uninterruptible safety earth ground must be provided from the mains power source to the product input wiring terminals or supplied power cable.

DO NOT operate the product in an explosive atmosphere or in the presence of flammable gases or fumes. For continued protection against fire, replace the line fuse(s) only with fu se(s) of the same voltage and curren t ratin g and type. DO NOT

use repaired fuses or short-circuited fuse holders. Keep away from live circuits: Operating personnel must not remove equipment covers or shields. Procedures involving the removal of

covers or shields are for use by service-trained personnel only. Under certain conditions, dangerous voltages may exist even with the equipment sw itche d off. To av oid da ngerou s elec trical s hock , DO N OT per form pr ocedur es inv olving cover or shi eld removal unles s you are qualified to do so.

DO NOT operate damaged equipment: Whenever it is possible that the safety protection features built into this product have been impaired, either through physical damage, excessive moisture, or any other reason, REMOVE POWER and do not use the product until safe operation can be verified by service-trained personnel. If necessary, return the product to an Agilent Technologies Sales and Service Office for service and repair to ensure that safety features are maintained.

DO NOT service or adjust alone: Do not attempt internal service or adjustment unless another person, capable of rendering first aid and resuscitation, is present.

DO NOT substitute parts or modify equipment: Because of th e dang er of int roduc ing ad ditiona l hazar ds, do not ins tall su bstitut e parts or perform any unauthorized modification to the product. Return the product to an Agilent Technologies Sales and Service Office for service and repair to ensure that safety features are maintained.

WARNINGS (contd.)

In a cleanroom environment, some switch modules (such as the E2270A, 2271A, 2273A, etc) are capable of switching voltages that could cause bodily injury or death to an operator. Special precautions must be adhered to (discussed below) when applying voltages in excess of 60Vdc, 30Vac rms, or 42.4 Vac peak for a continuous, complex wavef orm.

Module connectors and test signal cables conn e cted to them must be made NO N- a cce ssi ble to an op era t or w ho ha s no t been tol d to access them: It is a supervisor’s responsibility to advise an operator that dangerous voltages exist when the operator is instructed to

access connectors and cables carry in g t hese voltages. Making cables and connectors that carry hazardous voltages inaccessible is a protective measure keeping an operator from inadvertant or unknowing contact with these harmful voltages. Cables and connectors are considered inaccessible if a tool (e.g., scre wdriver, wrench, socket, etc.) or a key (equipment in a locked cabinet) is required to gain access to them. Additionally, the operator cannot have access to a conductive surface connected to any cable conductor (High, Low, or Guard).

Assure the equipment un der test has a dequate insulatio n between the cable connections and any opera tor-accessible parts (doors, covers, panels, shields, cases, cabinets, etc.): Verify there are multiple and sufficient protective means (rated for t he v ol tages you are

applying) to assure the operator will NOT come into contact with any energized conductor even if one of the protective means fails to work as intended. For exam ple, th e inn e r side of a case, c a bine t, d oo r, c ove r, or p ane l c an be cov e red with an in sula tin g m ate ria l as well as routing the test cables to the module’s front panel connectors through non-conduct ive, flexible conduit such as th at used in electrical power distribution.

M-Module Installation

This manual provides the following information:

•Installing M-Modules in the E2251A Carrier including:

-- Setting Logical Addresses

-- Attaching Field Wiring and Strain Relief

-- Installing RFI Dress Panels

•Installing the E2251A Carrier in a VXIbus Mainframe

• M-Module installation verification.

•Removing M-Modules from the Carrier.

For general information about the E2251A M-Module Carrier or for M-Module programming information, refer to the E2251A M-Module Carrier User’s Manual. For infor mation about speci fic M-Modules, refer to that M-Module’s User’s Manual. VXIplug&play drivers, downloadable SCPI drivers, and Soft front panels are avai la ble on t he CD ROM provided with the Carrier and M-Modules. The E2251A does not support MA-Modules.

WARNING SERVICE-TRAINED PERSONNEL ONLY. The information in this manual is for

service-trained personnel who are familiar with electronic cir cuit ry and are aware of the hazards involved. To a void personal i njury or d amage to the i nstrument, do not perform procedures in this manual or do any servicing unless you are qualified to do so.

Caution All installation, wiring, and configuration procedures in this chapter are to be

done with power DISCONNECTED from the VXI mainframe and power DISCONNECTED from any external wiring/cabling. To prevent equipment damage, DISCONNECT the mainframe's power before installing any module into the mainframe.

Caution STATIC ELECTRICITY. Static electricity is a major cause of component fai lure. To

prevent damage to the electrical components in the Carrier and the M-Modules, observe anti-static techniques when installing or removing an M-Module from the Carrier or installing or removing the Carrier from the VXI mainframe.

Caution Modules in Carrier slot M5 are restricted to 60Vdc, 30Vac

, or 42Vacpk.

rms

Caution Remove all packing material before installing Carrier in VXI mainframe.

Step 1. Remove the Carrier Shields

1. Remove the four screws securing the Carrier top and bottom shield.

2. Remove the screw securing the PC board to the bottom shield.

3. Set the screws and shields aside for later re-assembly (Step 6).
