Step 2. Install the Plug-in Module

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 83486A optical plug-in module in an Agilent 54750A digi-
tizing oscilloscope, a firmware upgrade must first be installed. Order the Agilent 83480K
communications firmware kit and follow the installation instructions.
Note
The Agilent 83486A requires firmware revision A.06.0 or higher.
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.
C A U T I O N
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.
