About This Guide
This guide provides high-level information for an initial setup of the Keysight J-BERT
M8040A High-Performance BERT. This guide focuses on setting up “bundled” systems
such as the M8040A-BU1 and M8040A-BU2.
The M8040A-BU1 system has the M8000 module(s), M9537A AXIe Embedded Host
Computer, M8070A software plus license, and module licenses pre-installed.
The M8040A-BU2 and M8030A-BU2 bundled systems has the M8000 module(s) and their
licenses pre-installed but will require host computer connection and M8070A software
plus license installation. These procedures are located in this guide.
If you ordered a system that requires on-site installation of individual M8000 modules or
the M9537A AXIe Embedded Host Computer into the M9505A AXIe Chassis, refer to the
Keysight M8000 Series of BER Test Solutions Installation Guide
for detailed module-level
installation instructions.
NOTE
Network licenses are not pre-installed on any system. If you plan to use the
M8040A system over a network, you must perform the network license
installation procedures in this guide.
