WARNINGS
The following general safety precautions must be observed during all phases of operation, service, and repair of this product.
Failure to comply with these precautions or with specific warnings elsewhere in this manual violates safety standards of design,
manufacture, and intended use of the product. Agilent Technologies assumes no liability for the customer’s failure to comply
with these requirements.
Ground the equipment: For Safety Class 1 equipment (equipment having a protective earth terminal), an uninterruptible safety earth
ground must be provided from the mains power source to the product input wiring terminals or supplied power cable.
DO NOT operate the product in an explosive atmosphere or in the presence of flammable gases or fumes.
For continued protection against fire, replace the line fuse(s) only with fuse(s) of the same voltage and current rating and type.
DO NOT use repaired fuses or short-circuited fuse holders.
Keep away from live circuits: Operating personnel must not remove equipment covers or shields. Procedures involving the removal
of covers or shields are for use by service-trained personnel only. Under certain conditions, dangerous voltages may exist even with the
equipment switched off. To avoid dangerous electrical shock, DO NOT perform procedures involving cover or shield removal unless
you are qualified to do so.
DO NOT operate damaged equipment: Whenever it is possible that the safety protection features built into this product have been im-
paired, either through physical damage, excessive moisture, or any other reason, REMOVE POWER and do not use the product until
safe operation can be verified by service-trained personnel. If necessary, return the product to an Agilent Technologies Sales and Serv-
ice Office for service and repair to ensure that safety features are maintained.
DO NOT service or adjust alone: Do not attempt internal service or adjustment unless another person, capable of rendering first aid
and resuscitation, is present.
DO NOT substitute parts or modify equipment: Because of the danger of introducing additional hazards, do not install substitute
parts or perform any unauthorized modification to the product. Return the product to an Agilent Technologies Sales and Service Office
for service and repair to ensure that safety features are maintained.
Printing History
The Printing History shown below lists all Editions and Updates of this manual and the printing date(s). The first printing of the man-
ual is Edition 1. The Edition number increments by 1 whenever the manual is revised. Updates, which are issued between Editions,
contain replacement pages to correct the current Edition of the manual. Updates are numbered sequentially starting with Update 1.
When a new Edition is created, it contains all the Update information for the previous Edition. Each new Edition or Update also in-
cludes a revised copy of this printing history page. Many product updates or revisions do not require manual changes and, conversely,

Installing Memory into an Agilent
E1300B/E1301B Mainframe
Description
You can install one or two memory modules onto the controller circuit board in the Agilent E1300B/E1301B
Mainframe. Any combination of the 512kByte and 1MByte modules can be used to produce 512 k, 1 M, 1.5M
or 2M of nonvolatile memory. The new memory will be used instead of (not in addition to) the standard 64k of
built-in controller board memory.
Warnings and Cautions
WARNING SHOCK HAZARD. Only service-trained personnel who are aware of the hazards
involved should install, remove, or configure the system. Before you perform any
procedures in this guide, disconnect AC power and field wiring from the mainframe.
Caution Do not install or remove modules with power applied to the mainframe. Doing so may
damage the modules and the mainframe.
Caution STATIC ELECTRICITY. Static electricity is a major cause of component failure. To
prevent damage to the electrical components in the mainframe, plug-in modules, and
memory modules, observe anti-static techniques whenever handling any of this
equipment.
Installation Kit
The following items comprise the memory module installation kit:
•#10 Torx®* Key - 1 each
•#10 Torx® screws - 4 each
•Nonvolatile Memory Module - 1 each
* Torx is a registered trademark of the Camcar Division of Textron Inc.

For example, in the figure above, the four Most Significant Bit (MSB) switches are shown in the "1" position,
the next bit is shown in the "0" position. The three Least Significant bit switches (shown in the "1" position)
are not used and may be in either the "1" or "0" position. Only the four Most Significant Bit address switches
need to be set for the 1 MByte modules; or five Most Significant Bit address switches for the 512 kByte
modules. Note: Ignore any numbering on the switch bank. Use the figure above to properly orient the address
switch.
