44 Keysight M8000 Series of BER Test Solutions Installation Guide
2 Installing Modules
Static Electricity—The components and connectors on modules are
sensitive to static electricity. To minimize electrostatic damage, take
the necessary anti-static precautions. The chassis provides a grounding
terminal to connect a wrist strap. To locate this terminal,
see Figure 30 on page -45.
Empty Slots—Except for performing initial chassis verification or
troubleshooting, do not operate the chassis with empty slots.
Always insert a filler panel or an instrument module into empty slots.
This is especially important for the slots on either side of an instrument
module. This allows proper air flow and cooling, and provides EMI
shielding for the chassis and installed components.
Leaving slots empty can increase fan speed, raise ambient noise,
overheat components, and shut down modules.
ASM—The AXIe System Module is integral to the operation of the chassis.
Except for troubleshooting purposes, do not remove it.
Hot Swap—AXIe does not explicitly support hot swap for instrument
modules. Keysight recommends fully powering down the chassis before
installing or removing modules.
AXIe System Module—Shutdown of the controller operating system and
power off the chassis before removing.
