Installation
Read this section before attempting any installation procedures. This section describes site considerations, power requirements, and ground connections for your instrument.
Site Considerations The instrument is designed to operate on a bench or on a cart in the normal position (on the bottom feet). For proper cooling, at least three inches (7.62 cm) of clearance is required on both sides of the instrument, and the bottom requires the clearance provided by the instrument feet.
If you operate the instrument while it is resting on the rear feet, make sure that you properly route any cables coming out of the rear of the instrument to avoid damaging them.
CAUTION. To prevent damage to the instrument, keep the bottom and sides of the instrument clear of obstructions for proper cooling.
Operating Requirements The Specifications in Appendix A list the operating requirements for the instrument. Power source, temperature, humidity, and altitude are listed.
The peripheral connections are the same as those you would make on a personal computer. The connection points are shown in Figure 1-1. See Table 1-1 on page 1-9 for additional connection information.
