General Safety Considerations WARNING The instructions in this document are for use by qualied personnel only. To avoid electrical shock, do not perform any servicing unless you are qualied to do so. The opening of covers or removal of parts is likely to expose dangerous voltages.
General Information This 42-page installation and verication manual supplement for the HP 70001A mainframe supplements the installation and verication manual for the HP 70000 Series, HP 70900B local oscillator source-controlled modules. For information on installing and verifying components of the HP 70000 Series modular measurement system, refer to HP 70000 Modular Spectrum Analyzer Installation and Verication Manual and HP 70900B Local Oscillator Source .
Mainframe Description A mainframe is a device into which plug-in modules may be installed to create an instrument in the modular measurement system. The HP 70001A mainframe provides the structural environment for plug-in instrument modules along with cooling, power, and digital communication interface buses.
Refer to the summary of safety considerations at the front of this manual. Mainframes Covered by Manual The contents of this manual apply to HP 70001A mainframes with the serial number prex(es) listed under \Serial Numbers" on the manual title page. Serial Numbers Attached to the front lower right frame of the mainframe, behind the swing-down door, is a mylar serial-number label.
Manual Updating Supplement A mainframe manufactured before or after this manual was printed may have a serial number prex other than that listed under \Serial Numbers" on the manual title page. A lower serial-number prex means that all current changes may not have been made to this mainframe.
Accessories The accessories supplied with an HP 70001A Mainframe ordered separately or as part of a precongured HP 70000 Modular Measurement System are the same. These accessories are listed in Table 1-1. Contact the nearest Hewlett-Packard Sales and Service Oce for a description of all power cables currently available for dierent country destinations.
The module hex-nut latch secures a module in a mainframe. When a module is being installed into or removed from an HP 70001A Mainframe, an 8 mm hex-ball driver is used to turn the module latch screw. Refer to Chapter 2, \Module Installation."...
It consists of both an internal and an external bus. The internal bus is housed in the HP 70001A Mainframe and connects to each installed module within the mainframe. External MSIB cables connect mainframes to each other, to the Graphics Display, and to other MSIB compatible devices.
In order to provide proper personnel protection, the wrist- and heel-straps must have greater than 1mohm isolation to ground. Hazards of Internal Repair and Adjustment If the HP 70001A bottom cover is removed for any reason, the following precautions must be observed. WARNING Disassembly, adjustments, and internal repairs should only be attempted by qualied technical personnel.

Returning Instruments for Service If a mainframe is being returned to Hewlett-Packard for servicing, ll in and attach a blue service tag. Service tags are supplied at the end of this manual. Please be as specic as possible about the nature of the problem. Include copies of error messages, data related to mainframe performance, type of system, etc., along with the mainframe being returned.

a. Wrap the instrument in anti-static plastic to reduce the possibility of damage caused by ESD. b. For instruments that weigh less than 54 kg (120 lb), use a double-walled, corrugated cardboard carton of 159 kg (350 lb) test strength. c.
Installation This chapter contains information needed to prepare a mainframe for use, and describes how instrument modules are installed to congure the HP 70001A Mainframe into an HP 70000 Series system. The information presented is general in nature. For more detailed information on conguration and HP-MSIB addressing, refer to the installation and verication manual for the system master (e.g., HP 70900A Local Oscillator).
Preparation for Use Line Voltage Selector Set the line voltage selector to the setting corresponding to the power source used. Access to this switch is provided through a hole in the left-front bottom cover. Refer to Figure 2-1 for an illustration of the line voltage selector.
400 Hz Option The HP 70001A Mainframe is available with an option that allows it to operate on a power-line frequency of 400 Hz. The 400 Hz option comes with an external in-line 600 V-A isolation transformer that must be used when the instrument uses a 400 Hz power source.
Addressing The HP 70001A Mainframe does not have an HP-MSIB address. The mainframe acts as an HP-MSIB arbitrator, allocating time on the HP-MSIB bus to any module or device designed to work with an HP 70000 Series system that requests it.
If extreme environmental conditions exist where dust and debris may be drawn into the air
ow and distributed throughout the instrument, a Frame-Fine Filter (HP part number 70000-40017) can be ordered from the nearest HP Sales and Service Oce. Installation 2-5...
Specications The following specications apply to the HP 70001A mainframe. For system specications, refer to the \Specications" chapter of the installation and verication manual for the system master. Specications Specications describe warranted performance over the temperature range 0 C to 55 C (except where noted) after one hour of continuous operation.
HP 70001A mainframe specications. Power-On Self-Test The act of turning on an HP 70000 Series system causes any modules installed in the system to execute a power-on self-test. The mainframe is not involved in these tests except in supplying power and communication for the modules.
Turn On When the HP 70001A as part of an HP 70000 Modular Measurement System is turned on, the mainframe monitors its condition as it brings power and cooling air up to specication. Once power and cooling is established, the modules begin their self-test sequences.
Fault Indicators The HP 70001A has three fault indicators. While these indicators are located in the mainframe, problems external to the mainframe can cause the indicators to turn on. External problems should be investigated before troubleshooting the mainframe. VOLT/TEMP If this fault indicator is on steady, check for the following problems before deciding the mainframe needs repair.
