If the proper voltage option (Opt. 124) is not used, the switches could be damaged. The 34946A module (Options 004, 020, 026) has two independent Keysight N1810TL switches.
The steps for installing the cable assembly and 9-pin D-Sub connectors are as follows: 1 Remove the 34946A or 34947A cover by removing the screw (T-10 torx) on the top of the instrument (Figure 1). Use care when handling the 34946A or 34947A chassis with the cover...

The slot and channel addressing scheme used in these examples follow the form sccc where s is the mainframe slot number (1 through 8) and ccc is the three-digit channel number.
When installing SMA connectors, it is recommend that you tighten them to 0.8 - 1.1 Nm (7-10 in-lbs) of torque. 34946A and 34947A Simplified Schematics Figures 3 and 4 show the channel configurations for the 34946A and 34947A modules, respectively. Keysight 34946A-34947A User’s Guide...
