Instrument Reboot (Cold Start)
Installation and Verification Manual
An instrument "cold start" routine is provided to reset the
instrument in the event of an unplanned hardware or firmware
event. A cold start reboots the instrument and restarts the
instrument using a default configuration file. Performing a cold
start erases existing configuration information. Current menu
settings will be lost and the instrument will power up in its
default state.
To perform a cold start
1 Switch the instrument off and wait a few seconds.
2 Switch the instrument on and as the instrument boots up,
look carefully at the display.
3 Wait for the "Starting instrument" . . . . . text to be displayed.
After a few seconds start to repeatedly press the <Menu> key
until the Agilent splash screen appears with an options menu
in the top left corner of the display.
The following options are available:
1 Reload configuration.
3 Cold start.
5 Normal start.
6 Upgrade software.
4 Press 3 on the numeric keypad to select cold start. The unit
will then continue with the boot up process.
5 When the boot-up procedure is complete, the instrument
displays a dialog box with the message: "Instrument reset to
default settings."
