Keysight Technologies M9036A Startup Guide

26 Keysight M9036A Embedded Controller Startup Guide
Controller Operating System
User data backup
All user data should be regularly backed up to an external memory device. This
can be done across a network or to a USB device. Your IT department may
already have a backup strategy which is suitable for the system and data. Also,
user data back up should be done just prior to sending the controller back to
Keysight for service.
The Windows operating system supplied with your M9036A is licensed for use on
the hard drive mounted to the controller. If the hard drive is replaced, it may be
your responsibility to purchase or re-license the operating system.
Chassis shutdown
As with any PC, Windows-based instruments should never be shutdown by either
turning off the power via an external power source or by pulling the power plug
out from the rear panel. This could corrupt the operating system. The approved
way to shut down the controller is to execute the Windows shutdown process
which shuts down the M9036A controller then turns off the M9018A chassis. If
the M9018A chassis rear panel INHIBIT switch is set to DEF then momentarily
pressing the front panel button shuts down the M9036A safely.
