How to Fit and Remove Modules

You can use two types of module:
• Front-loadable modules - these modules fit in the four module slots
at the front of the Agilent 8164A/B Lightwave Measurement System
or the two module slots at the front of the Agilent 8163A/B
Lightwave Multimeter System or the 17 module slots at the front of
the Agilent 8166A/B Lightwave Multichannel System.
• Back-loadable modules - these tunable laser source modules fit in
the large module slot at the rear of the Agilent 8164A/B Lightwave
Measurement System.

How to Remove a Front-Loadable Module

Do not use the electrical or optical connectors to pull the module out
of the instrument, as this can cause damage to the connectors.
Make sure that the line power is switched off before you remove a
module.
