Shipping problems?
If the shipping materials are damaged or the contents of the container are incomplete:
• Contact the nearest Agilent Technologies office.
• Keep the shipping materials for the carrier’s inspection.
• If you must return an test set to Agilent Technologies, use the original (or
comparable) shipping materials. See “Returning a test set for Service" on page 113.
Test Set Location and Rack Mounting Requirements
Locating the test set
Make sure that the fan inlet and exhaust vent areas on the sides of the test set are not
obstructed. The minimal required clearance is 2 inches. Airflow restrictions cause
additional airflow noise and cause the fans to speed up so they can draw in enough air for
the required cooling resulting in excessive audible noise.
Cooling and rack mounting
Quick-Start 1
Do not rack mount the test set side-by-side with any other instrument with side-by-side
ventilation. Make sure the exhaust air from the first instrument is directed away from the
inlet of the second unit. If the pre-heated air from the first instrument is directed into the
second instrument, it can cause excessive operating temperatures in the second unit and
can cause instrument failures. The test set draws air in from the left side and exhausts air
from the right side.

Anti-Virus Software and Firewalls
No anti-virus software is shipped with the test set. It is recommended that you install
anti-virus software if your test set is connected to the LAN. Check with your IT
department to see what they recommend.
The test set is shipped with the Windows firewall enabled. Do not modify the default
network settings as this may cause problems with the operating system of the test set.
Shortening the Test Set Power-On Time
The test set desktop includes a shortcut to the ConfigureApplications.exe application that
lets you control your test set power-on configuration. You can set the configuration to
pre-load only the applications that you typically run. This can significantly shorten the
time it takes for your test set to power-on. You can also access this functionality by
pressing:
If (after power-on) you want to access an application that you did not pre-load, it will
take a little longer to bring it up once you press the application softkey . This longer timeframe is only for the first access after power-on. After the initial access, mode
(application) switching will operate as quickly as if the application was pre-loaded.

1 Quick-Start
Protecting against electrostatic discharge
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage or destroy electronic components (the
possibility of unseen damage caused by ESD is present whenever components are
transported, stored, or used).
Test equipment and ESD
To help reduce ESD damage that can occur while using test equipment:
Do not use these first three techniques when working on circuitry with
a voltage potential greater than 500 volts.
• Before connecting any coaxial cable to a test set connector for the first time each day ,
momentarily short the center and outer conductors of the cable together.
• Personnel should be grounded with a 1 MΩ resistor-isolated wrist-strap before
touching the center pin of any connector and before removing any assembly from the
test set.
• Be sure that all instruments are properly earth-grounded to prevent build-up of st atic
charge.
• Perform work on all components or assemblies at a static-safe workstation.
• Keep static-generating materials at least one meter away from all components.
• Store or transport components in static-shielding containers.
• Always handle printed circuit board assemblies by the edges. This reduces the
possibility of ESD damage to components and prevent contamination of exposed
plating.
Additional information about ESD
• For more information about ESD and how to prevent ESD damage, contact the
Electrostatic Discharge Association (http://www.esda.org). The ESD standards
developed by this agency are sanctioned by the American National Standards
Institute (ANSI).
