The Cirris 1000M can be used to test many different types of cables. To connect the
cables you want to test to the analyzer, you use connector adapters which match the
connectors on the cable you want to test.
In this section, we will explain how to work with the hardware. We will show you
how to install your connector adapters, and how to disassemble the analyzer in case
you need to replace one of its subassemblies, or its EPROM.
How to install
connector adapters
To install connector adapters onto the Cirris 1000M, follow these steps:
1. Turn the two twistlock fasteners on each adapter cover plate to unlock them, and
remove the cover plates.
2. Plug in the connector adapters. Be sure the pins on the bottom of each adapter
are lined up properly, so they don’t bend as they are inserted into the sockets. To
line the pins up properly, press the adapter against the inside edge of the metal
frame, and have the bottom of the adapter card resting on the plastic adapter
support.
