2 Getting Started<br />

Installing and Connecting Modules<br />

For most applications, prior to using the <strong>34980A</strong> you will select and<br />

install modules, and make connections with terminal blocks or cabling.<br />

The following sections illustrate module and terminal block installation.<br />

Removing a Slot Cover<br />

Your <strong>34980A</strong> is shipped from the factory with one slot uncovered and<br />

the remaining seven slots covered (the illustration below shows a module<br />

already inserted in Slot 1). When you are ready to install additional<br />

modules in the seven remaining slots, you must first remove its slot<br />

cover. Using a flat blade screwdriver, pry each side of the slot cover until<br />

the cover releases from the slot.<br />

WARNING<br />

CAUTION<br />

CAUTION<br />

When any slot covers are removed, hazardous voltages may be<br />

exposed on the analog bus connectors.<br />

Install current limiting devices between high energy sources and the<br />

module inputs.<br />

Do not block air intake or exhaust vents at the sides of the instrument<br />

With the slot cover removed, you can now install a module in this slot.<br />

For detailed examples of the slot and channel numbering scheme used in<br />

the <strong>34980A</strong>, see “Slot and Channel Addressing Scheme” on page 166.<br />
