Using Modules
How to Fit and Remove Modules
You can use two types of module:
• Front-loadable modules - these modules fit in the four module slots at the front
of the Agilent 8164A/B Lightwave Measurement System or the two module
slots at the front of the Agilent 8163A/B Lightwave Multimeter System or the
17 module slots at the front of the Agilent 8166A/B Lightwave Multichannel
System.
• Back-loadable modules - these tunable laser source modules fit in the large
module slot at the rear of the Agilent 8164A/B Lightwave Measurement
System.
How to Remove a Front-Loadable Module
Figure 189 How to Remove a Front-Loadable Module
1 Lift the catch at the bottom front of the module.
2 With the catch lifted, pull the module out of the instrument. If the module does
not slide out freely, check that you have lifted the catch high enough.
Do not use the electrical or optical connectors to pull the module out
of the instrument, as this can cause damage to the connectors.
Make sure that the line power is switched off before you remove a
module.
