This section describes the procedures required prior to turning on the AWG2021.

Installation

Before you begin, refer to the Safety Summary at the front of this manual for power source, grounding, and other safety information.

Before you use the instrument, ensure that it is properly installed and powered on. To properly install and power on the instrument, perform the following steps:

1.Check that the operating environment is correct.

The AWG2021 operates correctly in ambient temperatures from +10_ C to +40_ C and relative humidity from 20% to 80%. If this instrument is stored at temperatures outside this usage temperature range, do not switch on the power until the chassis has come within the usage temperature range. For the information on the other operating environment, see Appendix B: Perfor- mance Characteristics.

￿￿TE. If you are installing this instrument in the dedicated rack, refer to the instruction sheet that comes with the rack mounting kit.

2.Before switching on the power, double check that there is nothing blocking the flow of air at the fan and air intake holes.

This instrument takes in outside air and cools itself by forcibly exhausting air with the fan on its left side. Leave space at the sides of this instrument so that the heat generated within the instrument does not build up and harm the operation. There are holes for air intake on the sides and bottom of this cabinet. After switching on the power, double check that the fan is turning. Here are the minimums for the space at the sides of this instrument.

Top and rear: 7.6cm (3 inches)

Left and right: 15.2cm (6 inches)
