Introduction
Successful tests in this chapter provide a high degree of confidence that the Agilent SAS is operating properly. For
verification tests, see appendix B under Verification. Do not apply ac power to the Agilent SAS until told to do so.
Note This chapter provides a preliminary introduction to the Agilent SAS front panel. See chapter 5 - Front
Panel Operation for more details. During this procedure, the Agilent SAS is operating in Fixed mode.
