2 Review Safety Requirements
2. 8 Ventilation
VENTILATION REQUIREMENTS: When installing the product into a
cabinet, the convection into and out of the product must not be
restricted. Consideration shall also be given to the individual
instruments to avoid having the heated discharge of one
instrument, now becoming the cooling intake air for another
instrument.
Another area of concern is verification that the maximum ambient
operating temperature of the instrument(s) is not exceeded by
cabinet installation.
Keysight recommends forced air convection whenever
instrument(s) are installed in a cabinet and further recommends
that the maximum operating temperature of the cabinet be
reduced 10°C from the lowest, of the maximum operating
temperature of a single instrument.
If there are any concerns or special requirements, a Keysight Field
Engineer should be consulted to assure instrument(s)
temperature compliance and performance.
Do NOT block vents and fan exhaust: To ensure adequate
cooling and ventilation, leave a gap of at least 50mm (2") around
vent holes on both sides of the chassis.

2. 9 Location and Mounting
Consider ergonomics when locating any keyboard or mouse which will be used in
connection with an instrument.
Install the KeysightS9100A BaseSystem and E7770ACIU so that the detachable
power cords are readily identifiable and is easily reached by the operator. The
detachable power cord is the disconnecting device. It disconnects the Mains circuits
from the Mains supply before other parts of the KeysightS9100A BaseSystem or
E7770ACIU. (The front panel switches are only standby switches and are not LINE
switches.) Alternatively, externally installed switches or circuit breakers (which are
readily identifiable and is easily reached by the operator) may be used as
disconnecting devices.
The KeysightS9100A BaseSystem requires a 1U space below
when rack mounting.
The M1740AmmWaveTransceiver does not have an AC power connection. It is
powered by a DC voltage from the E7770ACIU; this voltage is supplied over the
RF Cable Assembly to the LO/Pwr/Ctrl/IF In connector. The DC supply does not
represent a risk of personal injury.
The RF Cable Assembly should not be connected to, or
disconnected from, the M1740AmmWaveTransceiver while it is
suppling DC power from the E7770ACIU. This connection should
be made only when the E7770A is powered off, or the cable is not
connected to the E7770A.
If the LED status indicator on the front of the M1740A is lit, this
indicates that it is powered up and the cable should not be
disconnected.

Failure to ground the test set properly can result in personal
injury. Before turning on the test set, you must connect its
protective earth terminals to the protective conductor of the main
power cable. Insert the main power cable plug into a socket outlet
that has a protective earth contact only. DO NOT defeat the earth-
grounding protection by using an extension cable, power cable, or
auto-transformer without a protective ground conductor.
This instrument has auto-ranging line voltage input. Before
switching on the instrument, be sure the supply voltage is within
the specified range and voltage fluctuations do not exceed 10
percent of the nominal supply voltage.

The M1740AmmWaveTransceiver does not have an AC power connection. It is
powered by a DC voltage from the E7770ACIU; this voltage is supplied over the RF
Cable Assembly to the LO/Pwr/Ctrl/IF In connector. The DC supply does not
represent a risk of personal injury.
The RF Cable Assembly should not be connected to, or
disconnected from, the M1740AmmWaveTransceiver while it is
suppling DC power from the E7770ACIU. This connection should
be made only when the E7770ACIU is powered off, or the cable is
not connected to the E7770ACIU. If the LED status indicator on
the front of the M1740A is lit, this indicates that it is powered up
and the cable should not be disconnected.
When the M1740AmmWaveTransceiver is used in connection with the E7770ACIU,
use only the RF Cable Assembly that was supplied with the M1740A to connect it with
the other instrument and connect it only to the mmW ports on that instrument.

2. 11 AC Power Cord
The KeysightS9100A BaseSystem and E7770ACIU are equipped with three-wire
power cords, in accordance with international safety standards. These power cords
ground the KeysightS9100A BaseSystem and E7770ACIU cabinet when connected
to an appropriate power line outlet.
Use the Keysight supplied power cord or one with the same or better electrical rating.
The cable appropriate to the original shipping location is included with the
KeysightS9100A BaseSystem and E7770ACIU. See:
http://www.keysight.com/find/powercords4
Always use the three-prong AC power cord supplied with these
products. Failure to ensure adequate earth grounding by not using
these cords can cause product damage.
If these products are not used as specified, the protection
provided by the equipment could be impaired. These products
must be used in a normal condition (in which all means for
protection are intact) only. Install the KeysightS9100A
BaseSystem and E7770ACIU so that their detachable power
cords are readily identifiable and easily reached by the operator.
The detachable power cord is the instrument's disconnecting
device. It disconnects the Mains circuits from the Mains supply
before other parts of the instrument. The front panel switch is only
a standby switch and is not a LINE switch.
Alternatively, an externally installed switch or circuit breaker
(which is readily identifiable and is easily reached by the operator)
may be used as a disconnecting device.
For continued protection against fire hazard, when using the
E7770ACIU, replace the line fuse only with the same type and
rating (115 V and 230 V operation: T 10 AH 250 V). The use of
other fuses or material is prohibited.
See Fuse Replacement for the E7770A Common Interface Unit
(CIU); additional servicing information may also be available in the
E7770A Common Interface Unit(CIU), User's Guide E7770-90001.
The M1740AmmWaveTransceiver does not have an AC power cord connection. It is
powered by a DC voltage from the E7770ACIU; this voltage is supplied over the RF
Cable Assembly to the LO/Pwr/Ctrl/IF In connector. The DC supply does not
represent a risk of personal injury.

2. 12 Protecting Against Electrostatic Discharge (ESD)
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage or destroy electronic
components (the possibility of unseen damage caused by ESD is
present whenever components are transported, stored, or used).
Shipping Materials and ESD
Keysight’s chassis and instrument modules are shipped in materials which prevent
static electricity damage. These instruments should only be removed from the
packaging in an anti-static area, ensuring that correct anti-static precautions are
taken. Store all modules in anti-static envelopes when not installed.
Test Equipment and ESD
To help reduce ESD damage that can occur while using test equipment:
Do not use these first three techniques when working on circuitry
with a voltage potential greater than 500 volts.
Before connecting any coaxial cable to a test set connector for the first time
each day, momentarily short the center and outer conductors of the cable
together.
Personnel should be grounded with a 1 MΩ resistor-isolated wrist-strap before
touching the center pin of any connector and before removing any assembly
from the test set.
Be sure that all instruments are properly earth-grounded to prevent build-up of
static charge.
Perform work on all components or assemblies at a static-safe workstation.
Keep static-generating materials at least one meter away from all com-
ponents.
Store or transport components in static-shielding containers.
Always handle printed circuit board assemblies by the edges. This reduces the
possibility of ESD damage to components and prevent contamination of
exposed plating.
Additional Information About ESD
For more information about ESD and how to prevent ESD damage, contact the
Electrostatic Discharge Association (http://www.esda.org). The ESD standards
developed by this agency are sanctioned by the American National Standards
Institute (ANSI).
