Checking the Shipment

Checking the Shipment

1.Inspect the shipping container for damage.

Signs of damage may include a dented or torn shipping container or cushioning material that shows signs of unusual stress or compacting.

2.Carefully remove the contents from the shipping container and verify that your order is complete. The following items are shipped standard with each signal generator:

•installation guide

•documentation CD-ROM

CD-ROM contents are also available in hard copy format. Refer to “E8257D/67D PSG Documentation” on page 13 for more information.

•three-prong ac power cord specific to geographic location

3.Verify that any options ordered are included with the shipment by checking the packing literature included with the shipment.

NOTE

The serial number label on the signal generator only lists the hardware/firmware options.

 

The packing literature verifies all items shipped.

 

 

Front handles and rack mounting hardware are also available for your signal generator. Refer to “Front Handles and Rack Mount Flanges” on page 13 for more information.

4. Adapters shipped by Option are shown in the following table.
