Basic Setup for M8040A

Step 4 - Connect the M9505A AXIe Chassis to a Power Supply

You can use an external power supply, typically AC power mains.
1 The instrument module uses the power supplied by the M9505A AXIe

Chassis in which it is installed. The M9505A AXIe Chassis power cord

comes with the chassis shipment. Insert the power cord into the inlet

at the rear of the chassis.

2 Connect the cord to an appropriate AC power main.
3 Push the circuit breaker to the right, which is the ON position.
