applying power. Note the instrument's exter-
nal markings described under “Safety Sym-
bols”.
Ground the Instrument
Keysight chassis’ are provided with a
grounding-type power plug. The
instrument chassis and cover must be
connected to an electrical ground to
minimize shock hazard. The ground pin
must be firmly connected to an electri-
cal ground (safety ground) terminal at
the power outlet. Any interruption of
the protective (grounding) conductor
or disconnection of the protective
earth terminal will cause a potential
shock hazard that could result in per-
sonal injury.
Do Not Operate in an Explosive
Atmosphere
Do not operate the Keysight module/
chassis in the presence of flammable
gases or fumes.
Do Not Operate Near Flammable
Liquids

12 Keysight M9514A Site Preparation and Installation Guide
Introduction Plan the Chassis Installation
Plan the Chassis Installation
The M9514A can be used as either as a bench top or rack mounted chassis.
Consider your anticipated chassis weight (with modules installed), power, noise,
ventilation requirements, and rack mounting options to ensure safety and
optimize access to test and control instrumentation.
You may want to create a complete system plan diagram for your site. A system
plan diagram details power availability, communications cabling, and system
placement with respect to other equipment. It can also serve to verify physical
access for operators and maintenance personnel.
The following figure shows a typical layout for a rack containing an M9514A AXIe
chassis. You should allow one meter of space in front of the rack for operator
access and one meter of space behind the system for service.
Chassis Dimensions and Weight
Identify the bench top or rack space before the chassis arrives using the
specifications below. See also, “Rack Mount the Chassis” on page 29.

Chassis exceeds 48 kg. Use a mechanical lift to lift the chassis. The
chassis should be transported using a rolling cart. Do not lift the
chassis by the handles on the front and rear of the chassis. If you
plan to mount the chassis at the top of a rack (see “Installing
Multiple Chassis in a Rack” on page 35) the mechanical lift must be
able to raise the chassis to approximately 60” (1.5 meters).

Keysight M9514A Site Preparation and Installation Guide 13
Plan the Chassis Installation Introduction
Chassis Ventilation
The chassis is designed to dissipate 200 W per module slot. Depending on load,
the chassis and power supply fans may exhaust significant heat. Operate in a
well ventilated (or air conditioned) environment. Allow 50 mm (2 in.) clearance on
both side of the chassis and 100 mm (4 in.) on the rear of the chassis.
AC Line Voltage Requirements
The M9514A comes prewired for a 3-phase Wye with Neutral configuration for
use with 220/380V, 230/400V, and 240/415C AC lines. Please consult Agilent
Support if you need otehr power entry configurations.
Acoustic considerations
Because of the volume of air that the chassis must move to adequately cool the
AXIe modules, the noise level around the chassis can exceed 79 dBA. You may
need to provide sound/noise mitigation in the room where the chassis/rack is
installed. Multiple chassis in a rack, plus the rack heat extractor fan noise, should
be considered. Ambient noise levels in the room may be reduced with:
-Dropped ceiling -- covered with a commercial grade of acoustic fiberglass
(flame-resistant) ceiling tile
-Sound deadening -- cover the walls with sound deadening material
-Removable partitions -- Use foam rubber models for most effectiveness.
Do not block the front fan air intake vent holes nor the fan exhaust
area on the chassis. This may overheat and damage components.
Avoid overloading an electrical circuit. Ensure your AC line matches
the AC Input requirements. If you need to power down the chassis
in an emergency, make sure that you have clear and quick access to
the primary disconnect. Refer to “Mains Disconnect” on page 22.
This chassis has an auto-ranging line voltage input, be sure the supply
voltage is within the specified range.
Hearing protection must be worn when working on or around the
chassis when it is powered on. The airflow noise around the chassis
can exceed 79 dB(A). This is outside the range that is normally
considered safe (70 dB(A)). Over and above that level is considered
hazardous and can result in permanent hearing damage.

Introduction Plan the Chassis Installation
Other considerations
Computer requirements, software, etc.
To install and run the required software (Microsoft .NET, Agilent IO Libraries
version 16.3 Update 2 or later, and chassis device drivers), the host PC requires
the following:
Agilent’s M9536A AXIe Embedded Controller requires Windows Embedded
System 7 32- or 64-bit Operating System. 8 GB RAM minimum recommended.
In addition, the host PC must be able to enumerate the AXIe chassis.
Local Area Network Your Agilent M9514A AXIe chassis communicates with
the external host pc either by PCIe connection or by IEEE 802.3 Local Area
Networking (LAN). All the necessary software and licensing comes with the
chassis but you will need to purchase and install the cabling and associated
hardware external to the chassis. Refer to the M9514A and M9521A User Guide
for additional information.

later.

Keysight M9514A Site Preparation and Installation Guide 15
Plan the Chassis Installation Introduction
Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) Precautions
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage or destroy electronic components. All
work on electronic assemblies should be performed at a static-safe work station.
The following figure shows an example of a static-safe work station using two
types of ESD protection. Purchase acceptable ESD accessories from your local
supplier.
-Conductive table-mat and wrist-strap
combination.
-Conductive floor-mat and heel-strap
combination.
Both types, when used together, provide a
significant level of ESD protection. Of the
two, only the table-mat and wrist-strap
combination provides adequate ESD
protection when used alone. To ensure
user safety, the static-safe accessories
must provide at least 1 Mof isolation
from ground.
Agilent’s AXIe 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.

Power Line
It is the customer's responsibility to:
-Prepare the site with adequate AC power for the system
-Provide a power cord (from the AC line mains disconnect to the chassis)
–Four power cords are available from Agilent for the M9514A:
-Y1235A for 1-phase, no Neutral, 250VAC, NEMA L6-30P, 2.5 M (8.2 feet)1
-Y1236A for 3-phase, Wye with Neutral, 240/415VAC, IEC 60309, 2.5 M
(8.2 feet)1
-Y1237A for 3-phase, Delta/Wye, no Neutral, 250VAC, NEMA L15-30P, 2.5
M (8.2 feet)1
-Y1238A for 3-phase, Wye with Neutral, 240/415VAC, Stripped End, 2.5 M
(8.2 feet)1
Refer to Appendix A, “Power Cords,” starting on page 43 for detailed
information about the Agilent power cords.
–An IEC 60309 (3P+N+E, 6H Red) plug is installed on the chassis at the
factory. This can be used for connecting the above Agilent power cords.
-Connect the system to the AC power source.
Those responsible for the proper design and installation of the power distribution
system must have a thorough knowledge of the appropriate local and regional
electrical codes and the limitations of the power system.
1 These are the AC power cord ratings, not the AC power ratings for the M9514A chassis. The Agilent M9514A
chassis AC input is rated to 240 VAC line-to-line. See Appendix A for cord information.

Connect the Chassis to the AC Power Line Mains Disconnect
Mains Disconnect
For both single-phase and 3-Phase AC Line operation, a mains disconnect -
providing over-current and short circuit protection - must be provided. It
disconnects the mains circuits from the mains supply. It may be a switch
disconnect or a circuit breaker. The front panel switch is only a standby switch and
is not a LINE switch (disconnecting device).
-If a switch disconnect is used, it must:
–Each phase must be appropriately rated.
–Open all line conductors and neutral conductors where local code applies,
but do not open the protective earth conductor.
–Be marked “System Mains Disconnect” or the equivalent in your language.
–Be marked with a “|” for the “On” position or a “O” for “Off.”
–Be capable of being locked in the “Off” position but not in the “On” position.
–Be installed within three meters of the chassis, where it can be easily
reached by the system operator without requiring the system to be moved
to access the disconnect.
-If a circuit breaker is used, it must meet all of the switch requirements above
plus:
–Be rated for a appropriate amps interrupting capability capacity (AIC) if used
on a 200-240 volt circuit .
Convenience outlets should be installed near the system for external equipment
such as computers and monitors, etc. Locate the outlets within
1 meter (three feet) of the rear of the system.
AC wiring and the Mains Disconnect is subject to local and regional
electrical codes. A licensed electrician must determine and install
the appropriate Mains Disconnect.
Copper wire must be used in the power drop. A licensed electrician
must determine the wire size for the power drop according to local
and regional codes. The wires must be sized to ensure that the
voltage at the system does not drop below 90% of the nominal
voltage.
