Safety Information

The following general safety precau-

tions must be observed during all 

phases of operation of this instrument. 

Failure to comply with these precau-

tions or with specific warnings or oper-

ating instructions in the product 

manuals violates safety standards of 

design, manufacture, and intended use 

of the instrument. Keysight Technolo-

gies assumes no liability for the cus-

tomer's failure to comply with these 

requirements. 

General

Do not use this product in any manner not 

specified by the manufacturer. The protec-

tive features of this product must not be 

impaired if it is used in a manner specified in 

the operation instructions.

Before Applying Power

Verify that all safety precautions are taken. 

Make all connections to the unit before 

applying power. Note the external markings 

described under “Safety Symbols”.

Ground the Instrument

Keysight chassis are provided with a 

grounding-type power plug. The 

instrument chassis and cover must be 

connected to an electrical ground to 

minimize shock hazard. The ground pin 

must be firmly connected to an electri-

cal ground (safety ground) terminal at 

the power outlet. Any interruption of 

the protective (grounding) conductor 

or disconnection of the protective 

earth terminal will cause a potential 

shock hazard that could result in per-

sonal injury.

Do Not Operate in an Explosive 

Atmosphere

Do not operate the module/chassis in 

the presence of flammable gases or 

fumes.

Do Not Operate Near Flammable 

Liquids

Do not operate the module/chassis in 

the presence of flammable liquids or 

near containers of such liquids.

Cleaning

Clean the outside of the Keysight mod-

ule/chassis with a soft, lint-free, 

slightly dampened cloth. Do not use 

detergent or chemical solvents.

Do Not Remove Instrument Cover

Only qualified, service-trained person-

nel who are aware of the hazards 

involved should remove instrument 

covers. Always disconnect the power 

cable and any external circuits before 

removing the instrument cover.

Keep away from live circuits

Operating personnel must not remove 

equipment covers or shields. Proce-

dures involving the removal of covers 

and shields are for use by service-

trained personnel only. Under certain 

conditions, dangerous voltages may 

exist even with the equipment 

switched off. To avoid dangerous elec-

trical shock, DO NOT perform proce-

dures involving cover or shield removal 

unless you are qualified to do so.

Do Not Operate Damaged 

Equipment

Whenever it is possible that the safety 

protection features built into this prod-

uct have been impaired, either through 

physical damage, excessive moisture, 

or any other reason, REMOVE POWER 

and do not use the product until safe 

operation can be verified by service-

trained personnel. If necessary, return 

the product to an Keysight Technolo-

gies Sales and Service Office for ser-

vice and repair to ensure the safety 

features are maintained.

Do Not Block The Primary 

Disconnect

The primary disconnect device is the 

appliance connector/power cord when 

a chassis used by itself, but when 

installed into a rack or system the dis-

connect may be impaired and must be 

considered part of the installation.

Do Not Modify the Instrument

Do not install substitute parts or per-

form any unauthorized modification to 

the product. Return the product to an 

Keysight Sales and Service Office to 

ensure that safety features are main-

tained.

In Case of Damage

Instruments that appear damaged or 

defective should be made inoperative 

and secured against unintended oper-

ation until they can be repaired by 

qualified service personnel

Do NOT block vents and fan exhaust: 

To ensure adequate cooling and venti-

lation, leave a gap of at least 50mm 

(2") around vent holes on both sides of 

the chassis. 
Do NOT operate with empty slots: To 

ensure proper cooling and avoid dam-

aging equipment, fill each empty slot 

with an AXIe filler panel module.
Do NOT stack free-standing chassis: 

Stacked chassis should be rack-

mounted. 
All modules are grounded through the 

chassis: During installation, tighten 

each module's retaining screws to 

secure the module to the chassis and 

to make the ground connection.

Operator is responsible to maintain 

safe operating conditions. To ensure 

safe operating conditions, modules 

should not be operated beyond the full 

temperature range specified in the 

Environmental and physical specifica-

tion. Exceeding safe operating condi-

tions can result in shorter lifespan, 

improper module performance and 

user safety issues. When the modules 

are in use and operation within the 

specified full temperature range is not 

maintained, module surface tempera-

tures may exceed safe handling condi-

tions which can cause discomfort or 

burns if touched. In the event of a 

module exceeding the full temperature 

range, always allow the module to cool 

before touching or removing modules 

from the chassis.
