Related Documentation

You can find all M9485A PXIe network analyzer module documentation and

other resources at: http://www.keysight.com/find/m9485A 

or at the respective product pages on www.keysight.com (go to Document

Library > Manuals).

Getting Started

STEP 1. Unpack and Inspect the Network Analyzer Modules

CAUTION Thenetworkanalyzermodulesareshippedinmaterialswhichpreventdamagefromstatic.

The modules should only be removed fromthe packaging in an anti-static area ensuring

that correct anti-static precautions aretaken. Store all modules in anti-static envelopes

when not in use.

Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage or destroy electronic components.

Use a static-safe work station to perform all work on electronic assemblies.

Figure 1-1 shows a static-safe work station using two types of ESD protection:

conductive table-mat and wrist-strap combination, and conductive floor-mat

and heel-strap combination. Both types, when used together, provide a

significant level of ESD protection. Of the two, only the table-mat and

wrist-strap combination provides adequate ESD protection when used alone.

To ensure user safety, the static-safe accessories must provide at least 1

meg-ohm of isolation from ground.

WARNING DoNOT usethese techniquesfora static-safeworkstation whenworkingoncircuitrywith

a voltage potential greater than 500 volts.

Getting Started

STEP 1. Unpack and Inspect the Network Analyzer Modules

Unpack the network analyzer modules from the shipping containers. Keep the

black plastic port protector and the shipping containers for possible reuse.

Inspect for Damage

After unpacking a network analyzer module, inspect it for any shipping

damage. Report any damage to the shipping agent immediately, as such

damage is not covered by the warranty.

CAUTION To avoid damage when handling the network analyzer modules, do not touch exposed

connector pins.

How to Return an Instrument for Service

Should it become necessary to return a network analyzer module for repair or

service, follow the steps below:

1. Review the warranty information shipped with your product.

2. Contact Keysight to obtain a Return Material Authorization (RMA) and

return address. For assistance finding Keysight contact information, go to

www.keysight.com/find/assist (worldwide contact information for repair

and service).

3. Write the following information on a tag and attach it to the network

analyzer module:

• Name and address of owner. A P.O. box is not acceptable as a return

address.

• Network analyzer module serial numbers. The serial number label is

located on the side panel of the module. The serial number can also be

read from the Soft Front Panel (SFP) interface, after the hardware is

installed.

• Description of the service required or the failure.

4. On the shipping label, write ATTENTION REPAIR DEPARTMENT and the

RMA number.

5. Ship the analyzer module using the original packaging materials. Shipping

the analyzer module in anything other than the original packaging may

result in non-warranted damage.

NOTE In your correspondence, refer to the network analyzer module by serial number and by

model number.

Getting Started

STEP 2. Check the Shipment

The M9485A consists of several modules, cables and dividers. Use the

Contents List in the shipping container to verify the completeness of your

shipment. If not complete, refer to “Contacting Keysight” on page 44.

Getting Started

STEP 3. Install the Network Analyzer Modules

NOTE These modules can be used in a chassis with a PXIe, or PXI-H chassis slots.

Recommended Best Practices to Ensure Proper and Safe Module Operating

Conditions

• Ensure proper chassis air flow is maintained.

• The use of a Keysight M9018A chassis is recommended for optimum

temperature control. If a different chassis is used, make sure it provides

thermal protection if fans become inoperable or forced air cooling is

obstructed.

— If using the Keysight M9018A PCIe Cable Interface, download the

Keysight Multiple PXIe and AXIe Chassis System Configuration Tool.

Save the file to your local hard drive; do not try to open the file from the

Internet location.

• Use slot blockers and EMC filler panels in empty module slots to ensure

proper operating temperatures. Keysight chassis and slot blockers optimize

module temperature performance and reliability of test.

• Set chassis fans to high or auto. Do not disable fans.

• Position chassis to allow plenty of space around chassis air intake and fan

exhaust.

• At ambient temperatures above 45° C (113° F) set the chassis fan to high.

Figure 1-2 M9485A chassis air flow

Tools Required for the Installation Procedure

• Phillips #1 torque driver, set to 4 in-lb (0.45 N.m) - not supplied.

Getting Started

STEP 3. Install the Network Analyzer Modules

• Socket adapter (part number M9485-23001) - supplied.

• Torque driver (for use with socket adapter), set to 8 in-lb (0.91 N.m) - not

supplied.

• Cable removal tool (part number 5002-3361) - supplied.

• Torque Wrench for SMA, set to 8 in-lb (0.91 N.m) - not supplied.

• 5.5 mm open end wrench - not supplied.

Installation Procedure

CAUTION PXI hardware does not support “hot-swap” (changing network analyzer modules while

power is applied to the chassis) capabilities. Before installing or removing a module

to/from thechassis, power-off the chassis to prevent damage to the module.

1. Make sure that the line cord is plugged in to establish earth ground and that

the chassis power switch is Off (see callouts 1 and 3 in Figure 1-3 on

page 11).

2. Wear a grounded wrist strap for this procedure (see callout 2 in Figure 1-3

on page 11).

3. If the chassis has multiple fan speed settings, ensure that the fan switch is

set to high or auto.

4. Position the chassis to provide ample space between the chassis fan intake

and exhaust vents. Blockage by walls or obstructions affects the air flow

needed for cooling. (Refer to the chassis documentation for more

information about cooling.)

5. Before inserting the network analyzer module into the chassis, back-out the

top mounting screw (see callout 7 in Figure 1-3 on page 11) on the module

to ensure that there is no interference between the screws and the

mounting rails.

6. Holding the module by the injector/ejector handle, slide it into a slot, as

shown in callouts 4 – 6 in Figure 1-3 on page 11.

a. Install the module into the slot of the chassis by placing the module card

edges into the front module guides (top and bottom).

The network analyzer module can be installed in any PXIe or hybrid PXI

slot marked with a peripheral slot compatibility image (solid black

circle fro PXIe, or solid black circle with the letter “H” for hybrid.
