Locating Electronic Manuals
Various electronic manuals provide information on how to configure and
use the supported instrument modules.
On installing the M8070B software, you will find documentation by clicking
Start > Keysight M8070B > Keysight M8070B Documentation.
You can also visit www.keysight.com/find/M8100 to find the latest
versions of various manuals and the data sheet for each module in the
M8100 series.
Routine Care
Except for performing initial chassis verification or troubleshooting, do
not operate the chassis with empty slots. Always insert a filler panel in
empty slots. This is especially important for the slots on either side of an
installed 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 can cause the module to shut down.
Do not block the vent holes on the chassis. This overheats and damages
their components. Leave a gap of at least 2” (50 mm) around all vent
holes.
Some instruments, such as M8158A, have an internal fan to keep the
components cooled to normal operating temperatures. Make sure that
there is enough clearance for adequate air-flow.
The enclosure surface of the module may become hot during use. If you
need to remove the module, first power down the AXIe chassis, allow the
module to cool, and then pull the module out of the chassis.
