To Set Up the Interface Pod

To Insert the Interface Pod

You can insert and remove interface pods at any time, even when the analyzer is powered on. Initially, you insert an interface pod when you set up the analyzer. Subsequently, you insert an interface pod when you change the physical layer interface that you want to monitor.

1Hold the interface pod with the front panel connectors facing you and the Hewlett-Packard logo facing upwards.

2Insert the interface pod into Port 1 or Port 2 of the analyzer.

 

3 Push the interface pod firmly into the analyzer until the connector at

 

the rear is properly seated. The clip on the base of the interface pod

 

clicks into place when the interface pod is fully inserted.

Caution

You must always have two interface pods inserted in the the HP E5200A

 

Broadband Service Analyzer while it is operating. If your operations

 

require only a single interface pod, insert the blank interface pod

 

(provided with the analyzer) into the other port. The two interface pods

 

are necessary to maintain a balanced airflow for cooling of internal

 

components and to comply with EMC standards.
