Power Connections

Connect the Power Cord

Connect the power cord to the IEC 320 connector on the rear of the unit. If the wrong power cord was shipped with your unit, contact your nearest Agilent Sales and Support Office to obtain the correct cord (refer to the list at the back of this guide).

Check the line voltage rating label on the back of the unit to make sure that it agrees with your ac mains voltage. Refer to appendix E if the voltage at your site is different from the voltage indicated on the unit.

Figure 2-2 identifies all rear panel connections on the dc source.
