Instrument Shutdown

To shut down the instrument press and hold the front panel Standby/Operate key for longer than one second. Windows will begin the shutdown process and automatically close open applications. It is not advised to turn the power off at the rear panel or pull the power cord until Windows has been properly shut down.

Note: After turning off the instrument, you must wait at least 10 to 15 seconds before turning the instrument back on again. This delay is required to allow the internal power supplies to discharge and to assure a reliable cold start.

2-7 Configuration

This section describes the various aspects of the instrument configurations both inside and outside of the main instrument software. The following system configurations are described below:

BIOS Configuration

Windows XP Configuration

Analyzer Configuration

Main Menu Tool Bar Configuration

BIOS Configuration

This section describes a few requirements of the BIOS setup.

Caution: It is strongly recommended that you do not enter or change the BIOS settings. The BIOS is configured at the factory for optimum system performance. Incorrect BIOS settings can render the system unusable.

Before entering the BIOS, you must install a PS2 keyboard. USB devices are not supported outside of the Windows operating environment.

The BIOS setup utility can be accessed by pressing F2 during the initial power up state when the Anritsu blue screen appears. If the system proceeds to the Windows XP startup screen, the BIOS will not be entered and the system will require a restart before BIOS entry can be attempted.

Note: After turning off the instrument, you must wait at least 10 to 15 seconds before turning the instrument back on again. This delay is required to allow the internal power supplies to discharge and to assure a reliable cold start.

Once the BIOS setup utility is entered, changes can be made in the usual manner. USB BIOS Legacy Support must remain disabled and the USB Host Controller must remain enabled. Failure to preserve these setting may result in display malfunction.

Pressing F3 will load the BIOS Setup Defaults. Pressing F4 will save the current settings (including any changes that were made) to BIOS and exit the BIOS setup utility.
