2. Follow the installer prompts. Choose a "Complete" installation to install all soft- ware and documentation, or a "Custom" installation to select from a listing of components and other features. 3. After installation is complete, please shut-down the PC. Keysight U5310A Startup Guide...
The SATA power adaptor (8121-2533) should be connected to a single card in order to guaranty the correct power supply and behavior of the digitizer. The U5310A is optionally supplied with a card retainer (included if ordered as U5310A-001, or available separately by ordering stand alone extender). Please contact support for the reference.
If the PC is a T5810, the PCIe-card retention (support slots) has to be removed and adapted by removing two of the extension blocks before inserting the U5310A. For details, please contact support www.keysight.com/find/assist. Diagram showing U5310A fan and support assembly fixings. Removing the card retainer 1. Remove the screw (A in the figure).
7. Refit the four screws (C), push the fan unit upwards away from the circuit board and tighten the four screws (0.3 Nm torque). 8. Put back the cables and the cover. 9. Refit the four screws (C). Keysight U5310A Startup Guide...
Step 4: Install the Module U5310A Front Panel Features Front Panel Connectors Please note that analog Input IN 1 and IN 2 have a maximum voltage limitation of ±1.5 Vmax while using the default 1V full scale range (±0.5 Vmax if using 0.25V FSR).
If warning or error status is observed, please try the following steps: Power-cycle the PC (If using a PCIe expansion chassis, observe the power sequence requirements).
