1Introduction
System Controller
The Agilent Digital Test Console requires a system controller PC. A system
controller centrally configures and reports test results from multiple
chassis.
The system controller PC communicates with a chassis via the chassis
manager’s PCIe interface, so the system controller must have a PCIe
interface.
The system controller is typically a laptop PC with an ExpressCard PCIe
adapter, but it could also be a desktop PC ar any other PC with a PCIe
interface.

Introduction 1
Agilent Digital Test Console Installation Guide 11
Application Blade
An application blade connects to a System Under Test (SUT), injects test
data, and makes real-time measurements. Application blades in the Agilent
Digital Test Console have the following common components:
0101
OOS (Out of Service)
Indicates blade health:
•red, steady—The blade detected a failure, for example, an unsuccessful bootup test or corrupted firmware.
To diagnose problems, see “To diagnose LEDs" on page 30.
•off—The blade detects no failures.
Display
(Optional) Provides status information about the blade:
•During bootup—May indicate the bootup progress to enable fast diagnostics if a blade experiences a
problem.
•After bootup—Identifies the following:
•chassis number (two digits)—The number starts at 1. If there are multiple, daisy-chained chassis, the
number is 1 for the chassis at the head of the chain, and increments by 1 for each chassis in the chain.
•slot number (two digits)—Starts at 1 for the slot next to the chassis manager, and increments by 1 for
each slot to the right.
•During operation—Identifies each active test session and its associated ports, by scrolling text across the
display (right to left) at least once per minute.
Ports
Connect to the DUT.
Serial Number (On Top)
Uniquely identifies the blade. When contacting Agilent support, report this number so that any manufacturing
information or past servicing associated with the blade can be noted. The serial number is also provided in a
Code 128 bar code for inventory purposes.
Reset Button
(Optional) Gracefully reboots a blade. If a blade does not provide this button, you can reboot the blade by
removing the blade from the chassis then re-inserting the blade. However, while doing this, ensure that the
blade is not powered on.
Blade Description
Identifies the blade’s product number, title, and class. When contacting Agilent support, report this information.
Ejector Levers (top and bottom)

attach the plastic bumpers and handle. If you are using it in a lab,
attach the rackmount brackets and mount onto a rack.
Step 3: Insert blades.
Insert any application blades that are not already in the chassis,
ensuring that empty slots have filler blades.
Step 4: Set up a system controller.
Connect an external system controller to the chassis manager’s PCIe
interface.
Step 5: Power up the system.
Attach the power cords, switch the circuit breakers on, and press the
power buttons on the chassis.

Step 1: Plan the installation
Power
For the power requirements of the chassis, see “Electrical" on page 38.
Rackmounting
The following rackmounting options are possible:
• 4-post rack—With the U4002A 2-slot chassis, the brackets are provided
separately (N5650-00035) and must be attached to the chassis before
rackmounting.
• 4-post shelf—You can order a kit (E3664AC), which provides rails that
attach to the front and back posts in a 4-post rack, forming a shelf
onto which you can slide the chassis. You can then secure the chassis
onto the front two posts using the chassis brackets.
• 2-post rack—You can front-mount a chassis into a telecom-style 19”
2-post rack.
The bottom chassis becomes the head of the chain. Position the system
controller near the head chassis at the bottom of the chain.
When connecting other chassis to the chain, add them to the top of the
chain, such that an Agilent Digital Test Console chassis is at the bottom
and serves as the master controlling the entire chain.
WARNING
Before installing equipment, always review your corporate
safety policies and consult with your lab manager to avoid
equipment damage and personal injury.
WARNING
Avoid overloading an electrical circuit.
In case you need to power down the chassis in an emergency,
make sure that you have clear and quick access to the primary
disconnect. If the chassis is rackmounted, this primary
disconnect can be a power system on the rack and not the
power button or circuit breaker on a chassis.
WARNING
Always install the heaviest equipment at the bottom of a rack
and deploy anti-tip and anti-rolling mechanisms on the rack.

16 Agilent Digital Test Console Installation Guide
2Hardware Installation
Ventilation
Static Electricity
CAUTION
Do not block the vent holes on the chassis. This overheats and
damages their components. Leave a gap of at least 2” (50mm)
around all vent holes.
CAUTION
Do not place multiple chassis side-by-side. This feeds exhaust air
from one chassis into the air intake of the other chassis and
overheats and damages components. Stack multiple chassis on
top of each other.
CAUTION
The components and connectors on blades are sensitive to static
electricity. To minimize electrostatic damage, take the necessary
anti-static precautions. Both chassis provide a grounding
terminal, to which you can connect a wrist strap. To locate this
terminal, see “U4002A 2-Slot Chassis" on page 8.

Hardware Installation 2
Agilent Digital Test Console Installation Guide 17
To manage cables
The Agilent Digital Test Console has high-density blades that provide many
connectors, each of which can have an attached cable. To facilitate the
insertion and removal of blades, neatly route cables around the chassis.
Doing this enables you to insert and remove blades without having to
navigate a web of cables crossing the fronts of blades.
Each chassis includes cable ties, which are secured onto the rackmount
brackets. Use these ties to bundle and route cables:
To minimize having cables cross in front of blades, locate blades that are
not often removed in the bottom slots. This leaves the top slots free for
frequently inserted and removed blades.
