Interface Cover Installation

The ESD cover and hardware are shipped with the unit (see

Items Supplied

1. Connect the cover flange to the side of the instrument using the two screws provided.

IMPORTANT - This must be done

before

rack mounting the unit.

2. Connect the LAN, USB, GPIB cable, and digital IO wires (GPIB shown) to the appropriate rear

panel connector.

3. Insert the cover tabs into the flange. Attach the ESD cover to the back of the unit using the two cap-

tive cover screws.
