Special Settings Boot-Resident Firmware update procedures may require this mode in case of firmware loading errors (main firmware part). If you use the following switch settings and power the instrument up again, the instrument firmware stays in the resident mode. It is not operable as a module. It only uses basic functions of the operating system for example, for communication.

Condensation Condensation within the module C A U T I O N Condensation will damage the system electronics. ➔ Do not store, ship or use your module under conditions where temperature fluctuations could cause condensation within the module. ➔ If your module was shipped in cold weather, leave it in its box and allow it to warm slowly to room temperature to avoid condensation.
Never operate your instrumentation from a power outlet that has no ground connection. ➔ Never use a power cord other than the Agilent Technologies power cord designed for your region. Use of unsupplied cables WA R N I N G Using cables not supplied by Agilent Technologies can lead to damage of the electronic components or personal injury.
Power Considerations The module power supply has wide ranging capability. It accepts any line voltage in the range described in Table 5 on page 22. Consequently there is no voltage selector at the left side of the module. There are also no externally accessible fuses, because automatic electronic fuses are implemented in the power supply.
