NOTE: This dc source generates magnetic fields that may affect the operation of other
instruments. If your instrument is susceptible to operating magnetic fields, do not locate
it in the immediate vicinity of the dc source. Typically, at three inches from the dc
source, the electromagnetic field is less than 5 gauss. Many CRT’s, such as those used in
computer displays, are susceptible to magnetic fields much lower than 5 gauss. Check
susceptibility before mounting any display near the dc source.

Bench Operation

Do not block the fan exhaust at the rear of the unit.
A fan cools the dc source by drawing air in through the sides and exhausting it out the back. Minimum
clearances for bench operation are 1 inch (25 mm) along the sides.

Rack Mounting

The dc source can be mounted in a standard 19-inch rack panel or cabinet. Table 2-1 documents the part
numbers for the various rack mounting options that are available for the dc source. Installation
instructions are included with each rack mount option.
NOTE: Support rails or an instrument shelf is required when rack mounting units.

Input 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.
