Installing the Test Set on a Bench

Figure 2-2

The HP 85043C system rack is the recommended model to use. To rack-mount the test set into a system configured with the HP 8510C, refer to the “Installation” chapter of the HP 8510C On-Site Service Manual and to the HP 85043C System Rack Manual.

When installing the test set for use on a bench, place it on a grounded anti-static work surface to reduce the chance of ESD damage. The antistatic surface should extend far enough in front of the test set to provide effective protection for the test ports and cable ends. See Figure 2-2.

A grounding receptacle is provided on the test set as an alternate grounding point for your anti-static wrist-strap.
