6.Connect the three ribbon cables to the adjacent connector pins in the GPIB board (or adjacent module). Make sure the connectors are properly seated.
7.If applicable, install each additional module in the slot next to the previous module in the same manner (go back to step 3).
8.Replace the top cover after all modules are installed.

Channel Number
The channel number of a specific module is determined by the location of that module in relation to the GPIB board. For example, the module next to the GPIB board is always channel number one. Numbering continues sequentially so that the module furthest from the GPIB board is the highest numbered channel in your system.
Figure 3-3 shows the channel assignments for an Agilent 6050A Electronic Load mainframe containing two Agilent 60502A single width modules and two Agilent 60504A double-width modules. One channel number is automatically assigned to each module according to the order in which it was installed in the mainframe. At this time, the maximum number of available channels is six for Agilent 6050A mainframes, and two for Agilent 6051A mainframes.

Installing The Mainframes
The dimensions of the Agilent 6050A and Agilent 6051A Electronic Loads are specified in Chapter 1. The mainframes have plastic feet that are shaped to ensure
