Chapter 1: MS Windows System Installation Procedure: Getting Started
Getting Started Verify Site Preparation Complete
Typically, the Agilent 3070 Site Preparation Manual
(03066-90114) is delivered to the customer by an
Agilent representative one month prior to system
shipment. A copy can also be found included with the
system shipment. From the site prep. manual:
1 View the customer's completed site preparation
checklist.
2 Ask the customer for a copy of the system plan
drawing or have them select the appropriate layout
from Chapter 3.
Check for Shipping Damage
If damage is found, contact Agilent’s Manufacturing
Test Business Unit, Order Administration:
■Inside the United States call [phone].
■Outside the United States call [phone].
Check the Shipment Against the Order Before
Uncrating
Un-crate the System
Follow the un-crating instructions attached to the pallet
ramp.
Check the System and the Contents of all Crates
and Boxes Against the Order
For 3070 systems, the label on the lower right corner of
the rear of the testhead cradle identifies the module
capacity as shown in Table 1-1.
NOTE
Testheads with capacities for more than one
module can be configured with fewer modules.
Additional modules can be added later.
Check that:
■A support bay is included with four-module
systems to hold DUT power supplies.
■The strip printer, tape cartridges, licenses, and
documentation is included.
■The bag on the testhead includes:
• A pod key,

Setting Up the KVM
and Support Arms
This section contains:
■Introduction, 1-5
■Install the KVM and Support Arms, 1-5
■Adjust the Support Arm Tension, 1-15
Introduction
The default location for the KVM (Keyboard, Video
Monitor, Mouse) installation is on the right side of the
testhead, when facing the testhead from the front.
The customer can be accommodated if a preference
exists for having the KVM on the left side. To do this,
the pod cover(s) must be removed, then the KVM
wiring must be re-routed.
Install the KVM and Support Arms
Follow the instructions given in Table 1-2. Additionally,
Figure 1-2 on page 1-12 shows the right side
installation detail, and Figure 1-3 on page 1-13 shows
the left side installation detail.

Chapter 1: MS Windows System Installation Procedure: Setting Up the KVM and Support Arms
Table 1-2 Install the KVM and support arms
Task Step
1 Remove the two shipping
bolts.
Do this so that the testhead can be rotated. Figure 1-1 on page 1-11 shows the
location of the shipping bolts.
2 If the KVM will be
installed on the left
(non-default) side, follow
the steps for this task.
Otherwise, continue with
Task 3.
CAUTION
✸Before rotating the testhead, remove all objects including the monitor
and keyboard support arms from the rotational path of the testhead.
During rotation, should the testhead hit anything, damage could result.
CAUTION
✸Remove the shipping bolts before attempting to rotate the testhead.
Otherwise, damage can result. Shipping bolts can be stored for later use
in the holes used by the testhead pallet shipping brackets.
Remove pod cover:
a If testhead connectors (BNC) are visible over a pod cover, rotate the
testhead about 10 degrees to allow the pod cover to be removed.
Apply PDU power to activate the testhead rotation switch. See Powering
the PDU and Controller on page 1-21.
b Use a T20 Torx driver to remove the pod-cover screws and then remove the
pod cover.
c Remove power to the PDU if connected.

Chapter 1: MS Windows System Installation Procedure: Setting Up the KVM and Support Arms
3 Install the support arms: CAUTION
✸Install the support arm T-piece to the front of the system. Damage may
occur during testhead rotation if the support arm T-piece is positioned to
the rear.
a Open the pod door.
b If present, pry the plastic square plug from the top of the mounting arm post.
c Unpack the support arms and the monitor and keyboard trays.
d Install the post of the support arm T-piece (E9900-10245), in the appropriate
column.
1) If the pod door is in the way, remove it by lifting it up, then out. Replace
it when done.
2) Secure the post using a 1/4-inch hex key wrench, two each cap screws
(3030-1044), and lock washers (2190-0963). For 307X, 317X and 327X
systems, use the top and middle screw holes.
e Insert the 13-cm (5-inch) extension riser (E9900-10246), into the hole of the
support arm T-piece that is farthest from the operator.
f If needed, install the square plastic cap in the top of the unused support arm
column.

Chapter 1: MS Windows System Installation Procedure: Setting Up the KVM and Support Arms
4 Install the keyboard tray: a Insert the keyboard support arm E9900-10248, in the hole in the support
arm T-piece.
b Install the keyboard tray E9900-10247, on the keyboard support arm using a
Phillips or Posi screwdriver and four flat-head screws, 3030-0219, in the
end of the arm:
■Choose one of the center sets of holes for mounting. Other mounting hole
sets can be selected at the customer’s request.
■Install the keyboard tray so that the tilt adjuster knob can be adjusted
from the front of the keyboard.
5 Position the KVM: a Unpack the keyboard and mouse and place them on the keyboard tray.
b Place the plastic keyboard overlay on the keyboard.
c Install the monitor support arm.
d Install the monitor tray on the support arm.
e Unpack the video monitor, then mount it on the support arm with its
included screws.
f Locate the mouse and mouse pad, then place them on the keyboard tray.

Chapter 1: MS Windows System Installation Procedure: Setting Up the KVM and Support Arms
6 Route the KVM cables: CAUTION
✸If the KVM cables are not routed with enough slack, they can be
damaged when the support arms are adjusted. Figure 1-4 on page 1-14
describes this further.
NOTE
The keyboard and mouse is shipped with long enough cables to
accommodate installation on the left side.They are folded back on
themselves in the testhead cable trough (identified in Figure 1-1 on
page 1-11).
For 307X and 317X systems, a second video monitor cable is
pre-installed to accommodate KVM installation on the left side.
For 327X systems, the existing video monitor cable is long enough to
reach to the left side. Re-route it through the testhead cable troughs. Cut
cable ties inside the pod, if necessary.
It may be necessary to obtain a 8120-1763 power cord extension cable to
connect power from the PDU to the video monitor. Route the power
cable through the testhead cable trough.
•Route the KVM cables through the support arm cable troughs.

7 Connect the KVM cables: NOTE
The USB connectors on (the left side of) the video monitor are not used.
a Remove the cover from the rear of the video monitor, then connect the
power and signal cables.
b Replace the rear cover.
c Connect the keyboard and mouse cables.
8 Install the barcode scanner
cables:
NOTE
Perform this task only if
installing an optional
barcode scanner.
Otherwise, continue
with Task 9.
a Insert the bar code scanner cable between the keyboard cable and the
keyboard extension cable.
b Route the bar code scanner cables through the support arm cable troughs.
9 Tidy and secure all cables. Use new cable ties where necessary.
10 Replace pod cover and
door.
Re-install the pod door and use a T20 Torx driver to replace the pod cover
screws.
