Initial Inspection
When you receive your power supply, inspect it for any obvious damage that may
have occurred during shipment. If any damage is found, notify the carrier and the
nearest Agilent Technologies Sales Office immediately. Warranty information is
shown in the front of this manual.
Keep the original packing materials in case the power supply has to be returned to
Agilent Technologies in the future. If you return the power supply for service, attach
a tag identifying the owner and model number. Also include a brief description of the
problem.

and panel surfaces are free of dents and scratches. Verify that the display is not
scratched or cracked.

an Agilent rack mount will not impede the flow of air.

sides and rear of the power supply for adequate air circulation. The rubber bumpers
must be removed for rack mounting.
Cleaning
