Step 2. Install the Plug-in Module

You do not need to turn off the mainframe to install or remove the plug-in
modules.
Note
If you wish to use the Agilent 83487A in an Agilent 54750A digitizing oscilloscope, a
firmware upgrade must first be installed. Order the Agilent 83480K communications
firmware kit and follow the installation instructions.
The plug-in module can be installed in slots 1 and 2 or 3 and 4 on the
Agilent 83480A or Agilent 54750A mainframe. The plug-in module will not
function if it is installed in slots 2 and 3.
To make sure the analyzer meets all of the published specifications, there
must be a good ground connection from the plug-in module to the mainframe.
The RF connectors on the rear of the plug-in module are spring-loaded, so fin-
ger-tighten the knurled screw on the front panel of the plug-in module to
make sure the plug-in is securely seated in the mainframe.
Do not use non-Agilent Technologies extender cables to operate the plug-in
module outside of the mainframe. The plug-in module can be damaged by
improper grounding when using extender cables.
Note
Use of the Agilent 83487A requires that firmware revision A.06.0 or later be installed in
the Agilent 83480A or Agilent 54750A mainframe.
