2. 7 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. 10 Battery Replacement on the M9037A Controller
CMOS Backup Battery
Danger of explosion if
battery is incorrectly
replaced.
Replace only with the
same or equivalent type
recommended.
Discard used batteries
according to man-
ufacturer's instructions.
Follow proper disposal
process. Only dispose of
old battery according to
local codes.
All electric and electronic
equipment are required to
be separated from normal
waste for disposal.
NOTE
Typical battery life varies
considerably and
depends on operating
temperature and standby
(shutdown) time of the sys-
tem. Typical life expect-
ancy of a 190mAh battery
is 4 to 5 years with an aver-
age on-time of 8 hours
per working day at an
operating temperature of
30°C. To ensure that the
lifetime of the battery has
not been exceeded, you
should change the battery
after 3 to 4 years of ser-
vice.
Keysight’s M9037A is equipped with a 3.0 V
"coin cell" lithium battery. This battery powers
the clock circuit and retains configuration
memory in CMOS RAM while the system is
turned off.
To replace the CMOS Backup Battery
1. Turn off power to the PXIe chassis.
2. Remove the M9037A embedded con-
troller from the chassis. Observe all
anti-static precautions.
3. Locate and remove the battery. Press
the battery release latch (1). The bat-
tery should pop out (2).
4. Place the new battery in the socket.
Make sure that you correctly orient the
battery for installation. The positive
pole (+) must be on the top. You may
find it helpful to angle the battery in
and pull back on the battery release
latch.
Replace the lithium battery with an
identical battery (BR2032 or equi-
valent).
5. Install the embedded controller back
in the PXIe chassis and apply power.
The battery’s operational temperature
range is less than that of the M9037A’s
storage temperature range. For exact
range information, refer to the battery

2. 11 AC Power Cord
The KeysightS9106AC-2IF, -4UP, and -42D 5GFR1Multi-port TransceiverSolutions
are equipped with three-wire power cords, in accordance with international safety
standards. These power cords ground the KeysightS9106AC-2IF, -4UP, and -42D
5GFR1Multi-port TransceiverSolutions 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S9106AC-2IF, -4UP, and -42D 5GFR1Multi-port TransceiverSolutions.
See: http://www.keysight.com/find/powercords
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S9106AC-2IF, -
4UP, and -42D 5GFR1Multi-port TransceiverSolutions so that its
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.

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).
