Inserting MSAMs or CSAMs into the 6000A base unit or DMC

Before inserting an MSAM or CSAM into the 6000A base unit or DMC, review the
MSAM or CSAM requirements, and gather the proper tools.

MSAM requirements

Before inserting an MSAM into a DMC, verify that the MSAM is labeled as DMC-
compatible. If it is not, you must return it to Viavi for a factory upgrade before using it
with a DMC.
DMC-compatible MSAMs can be inserted into any T-BERD ⁄ MTS 6000A base unit or
DMC; MSAMs that are not compatible with the DMC must be used with a
T-BERD ⁄ MTS 6000A base unit. A 90W or 150W power supply is also required.

CSAM requirements

When using a CSAM in a T-BERD ⁄ MTS 6000A base unit, the base unit must be a
6000Av2, and the module carrier within the 6000Av2 must be an E6300. A 150W power
supply is also required.
If the CSAM is not compatible with the module carrier of the 6000Av2, the software will
prevent you from using the instrument to test.

Required tools

You will need a large, flat blade screwdriver to secure the MSAM or CSAM in the
T-BERD ⁄ MTS 6000A base unit or the DMC chassis.
