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).
The HP 70001A mainframe is a rugged structure into which modules of various widths
can be placed. It provides power, cooling, and a suitable environment for electromagnetic
compatibility for the modules, and manages all digital communications among the system
elements. LED fault indicators, on the lower front-panel, report mainframe or module
problems. For specic LED fault indicator information, refer to Chapter 5 of this manual.
