20 Keysight M9036A Embedded Controller Startup Guide
Step 3: Install the M9036A Embedded Controller
To verify Windows XP activation, do the following:
1 From the Windows Start button, select All Programs > Accessories > System Tools
> Activate Windows.
2 If the Activate Windows option does not appear in System Tools, then Windows is
already activated.
Controller and Chassis Drivers
All of the M9036A Controller and M9018A Chassis drivers were installed on your
controller at the factory. You should not need to reinstall them. The M9036A
Product Information CD you received as part of the initial shipment (see “Step 2:
Verify Shipment Contents” on page 14) provides a backup for the drivers.
However, you should periodically check the M9036A web page
(www.keysight.com/find/M9036A) for the most current drivers. Instructions for
updating the drivers are on the web.
By Keysight’s agreement with Microsoft, Windows Automatic
Update is turned off at installation. You may choose to turn
Windows Automatic Update on after starting the operating
system. However, Keysight cannot be held responsible for
changes to the system caused by the automatic update process.
Enabling automatic Windows updates exposes the controller to
periodic OS changes and possible new system behaviors.
Make certain the Caps Lock and Num Lock keys are off when
entering passwords (especially for the first time). It is possible for
these keys to be on when the controller powers on.
