E8362A, E8363A, E8364A
Rear Panel Interconnects The rear panel includes the following interfaces:
USB A universal serial bus (USB) jack (an industry standard 4-pin connector).
GPIB A 24-pin, female, type D-24 connector that meets IEEE-488 standards.
Serial A 9-pin, male, RS-232 compatible, D-sub connector.
Parallel A 36-pin, mini-D, 1284-C connector that provides connection to printers or
any other parallel port peripheral.

A40 Floppy Disk Drive
The A40 floppy disk drive allows you to store and recall instrument states and
measurement results on a 3.5 inch, 1.44 MB floppy disk. This assembly is connected
directly to the A14 system motherboard.
A41 Hard Disk Drive
The hard disk drive assembly (HDDA) is an integrated development environment (IDE)
data storage device which is connected directly to the A15 CPU board.
Certain information used by the network analyzer, or about the network analyzer, is stored
on the hard disk drive and in several EPROMs within the analyzer.
