Test equipment requirements
On the rear panel of the oscilloscope is a serial number label and a VIN # 0XX. The serial number
is composed of two parts. The first part contains two letters and two numbers that signify the
oscilloscope’s county of origin and year date code. The second part, or the last six digits from
the right, contains a rolling number that is different for each Infiniium. This manual may not
reflect changes made to the oscilloscope after the release data listed on the title page.
An oscilloscope manufactured after the printing of this manual may have a newer serial number.
This newer serial prefix indicates that the oscilloscope may be different from those described in
this manual. The manual for this oscilloscope will be revised as needed. If you have an oscilloscope
with a newer serial number, please refer to the Agilent Technologies website and download a
newer manual edition in Adobe Acrobat (pdf) format. The Agilent Technologies URL is:
“www.agilent.com”. It will be necessary to search on a key word such as “Infiniium Service Guide”,
and follow the links.
For additional information on configuration differences see the following sections in this service
guide:
• “To configure the motherboard jumpers and setup the BIOS” in the Troubleshooting section
5 for information on determining:
•which computer configuration is contained in your oscilloscope
•setting up the BIOS correctly for that configuration
•setting the motherboard jumpers if the PC motherboard is changed.
• Replaceable Parts section 7.
This section contains exploded views for the different motherboard configurations, cabling
schemes, and outside hardware versions. The Replaceable Parts List also contains the
assembly part numbers for the different oscilloscope configurations.
