WARNINGS (contd.)
In a cleanroom environment, some switch modules (such as the E2270A, 2271A, 2273A, etc) are capable of switching voltages that could
cause bodily injury or death to an operator. Special precautions must be adhered to (discussed below) when applying voltages in excess
of 60Vdc, 30Vac rms, or 42.4 Vac peak for a continuous, complex waveform.
Module connectors and test signal cables connected to them must be made NON-accessible to an operator who has not been told
to access them: It is a supervisor’s responsibility to advise an operator that dangerous voltages exist when the operator is instructed to
access connectors and cables carrying these voltages. Making cables and connectors that carry hazardous voltages inaccessible is a
protective measure keeping an operator from inadvertant or unknowing contact with these harmful voltages. Cables and connectors are
considered inaccessible if a tool (e.g., screwdriver, wrench, socket, etc.) or a key (equipment in a locked cabinet) is required to gain access
to them. Additionally, the operator cannot have access to a conductive surface connected to any cable conductor (High, Low, or Guard).
Assure the equipment under test has adequate insulation between the cable connections and any operator-accessible parts (doors,
covers, panels, shields, cases, cabinets, etc.): Verify there are multiple and sufficient protective means (rated for the voltages you are
applying) to assure the operator will NOT come into contact with any energized conductor even if one of the protective means fails to
work as intended. For example, the inner side of a case, cabinet, door, cover, or panel can be covered with an insulating material as well
as routing the test cables to the module’s front panel connectors through non-conductive, flexible conduit such as that used in electrical
power distribution.

-- Setting Logical Addresses
-- Attaching Field Wiring and Strain Relief
-- Installing RFI Dress Panels
• Installing the E2251A Carrier in a VXIbus Mainframe
• M-Module installation verification.
• Removing M-Modules from the Carrier.
For general information about the E2251A M-Module Carrier or for
M-Module programming information, refer to the E2251A M-Module
Carrier User’s Manual. For information about specific M-Modules, refer to
that M-Module’s User’s Manual. VXIplug&play drivers, downloadable
SCPI drivers, and Soft front panels are available on the CD ROM provided
with the Carrier and M-Modules. The E2251A does not support
MA-Modules.
WARNING SERVICE-TRAINED PERSONNEL ONLY. The information in this manual is for
service-trained personnel who are familiar with electronic circuitry and are aware
of the hazards involved. To avoid personal injury or damage to the instrument, do
not perform procedures in this manual or do any servicing unless you are
qualified to do so.
Caution
All installation, wiring, and configuration procedures in this chapter are to be
done with power DISCONNECTED from the VXI mainframe and power
DISCONNECTED from any external wiring/cabling. To prevent equipment
damage, DISCONNECT the mainframe's power before installing any module into
the mainframe.
Caution
STATIC ELECTRICITY. Static electricity is a major cause of component failure. To
prevent damage to the electrical components in the Carrier and the M-Modules,
observe anti-static techniques when installing or removing an M-Module from the
Carrier or installing or removing the Carrier from the VXI mainframe.

Step 2. Determine M-Module Layout
1. Identify the positions your M-Modules will occupy in the E2251A Carrier. The Carrier can hold up to
six M-Modules only if neither of the modules in the two interior slots (M4 & M5) require external
cabling. If one or both interior modules require external cabling, the bottom-front slot (M0) must be left
unused to accommodate the wiring; strain relief clamps are provided. The following figure shows the
common M-Module layouts.

Step 3. Set the Logical Address for each M-Module
Each VXI module or M-Module in a VXI system must have a unique logical
address. The logical address is used by the VXI resource manager to identify
instruments. When the logical address of a module is set to a direct multiple
of 8 (such as 8, 16, 24, ... 256), that module is considered an “instrument”.
An instrument's secondary address (used to program the module from GPIB)
is derived by dividing the instrument logical address by 8. For example, a
logical address of 24 is a secondary address of 03.
Guidelines for The E2251A comes from the factory with the M-Module logical address
1
switches set to 0. In the E2251A M-Module Carrier, logical address 0
Determining Logical
instructs the Carrier to ignore that slot and the Carrier does not report it to
the VXI system resource manager.
Addresses
You must set the logical address switches for each M-Module installed
in the E2251A Carrier.
If you are using an E1406 Command Module set M-Module addresses to a
multiple of 8 (i.e., 8, 16, 24, 32, . . . 256). Do not set any M-Module logical
address to the same value as any other M-Module or any other VXI module
in the system. You can use up to 31 M-Modules (up to seven Carriers) with
an E1406 Command Module or 255 M-Modules (up to 51 Carriers) with
embedded controllers, VXLink, or MXIbus controllers.
Note Multiple-module Scanning Voltmeter or Switchbox instruments are not
supported with M-Modules on the E2251A Carrier. Multiple-module
instruments can only be created using standard B- or C-size VXI modules.
Unused Slots on the Unused slots on the E2251A Carrier should have their logical address set to
0 (zero). With the logical address set to 0, the Carrier disables the circuits
Carrier
(interrupt, reserved memory, etc.) for that slot.
1. Note that in a standard VXI system, logical address 0 is reserved for the VXIbus command module / resource
manager. On the E2251A Carrier however, logical address 0 causes the Carrier to disregard that M-Module
slot.

Setting the As shown below, the E2251A has six logical address switch banks, one for
each M-Module slot. You must set the logical address switches for each
Addresses
M-Module installed in the E2251A Carrier.
A logical address switch bank contains eight individual switches. To
determine the logical address, add together the decimal values of the
switches that are set (position 1 = set, 0 = not set). For example, in the figure
below, switches 4, 5, and 6 are set, the other switches are not set. The logical
address is the sum of the decimal values of the set switches: 16 + 32 + 64 =
112.

Step 4. Install M-Modules onto the Carrier
1. For internally-mounted M-Modules (slots M4 and M5) see Step 5, next page.
2. Install RFI Dress Panel (p.n. E2273-04301) on each of the front mounted M-Modules. Dress panels act
like a gasket and minimize RFI. Make certain the M-Module-to-Carrier connectors line up properly.
Make certain the M-Module standoffs are aligned over the screw mounting holes.
3. Secure each M-Module to the Carrier (from the back side) with four M3x5 mounting screws
(p.n. 0515-0372, with captive lock washer) supplied with M-Module. Open handles on Carrier to install
screws for slots M0 and M3 M-Modules.
4. Install blank Dress Panel (p.n. E2251-04301) over each unused front panel slot to minimize RFI.
2. Align M-Module on Carrier.
3. Secure M-Module with
four M3x6 screws.
0515-0430
Do not remove
these screws
if removing
M-Module.
1. Install E2273-04301

Step 5. Connect Field Wiring to Slot M4 & M5 M-Modules
If you installed M-Modules on either or both of the interior slots, the following instructions describe how to
secure the field wiring. If you did not install an M-Module in slots M4 or M5, skip this page and go to Step 6.
1. Cover the M0 2-row connector strip with provided Pin Protector/Cover (p.n. 1252-8273). This pin
protector protects the field wiring from chafing against the connector pins.
Note: Do not install the plastic cable hood (see page 21) on the field wiring connectors for the two internal
M-Modules. Do not install the RFI dress panels on the two interior M-Modules. If an RFI dress panel is
already installed on an M-Module, it must be removed. They are not needed and may interfere with
installation of the top shield.
2. Holes are provided in the Carrier for cable ties to secure the field wiring cables.
3. Install cable clamp plates (p.n. E2251-01203) on top side of PC board. Secure the cable clamp (but do not
overtighten). Both clamps are required to prevent damage to PC board.
4. To minimize RFI, install a dress panel (p.n. E2251-04301) over the front panel M0 slot position. Have
the dress panel machined or punched to allow the cable to pass through. Machine the cut as small as
possible; large enough for the cable and optional grommet (to prevent chafing) but tight to minimize RFI.

Step 9. Installation / Operational Verification
1. Turn on the VXI mainframe and use the VXIplug&play Soft Front Panels (SFP) to verify installation and
operation of the M-Modules. The SFPs are supplied on the CD ROM accompanying your M-Modules
®
and Carrier. The SFP is an MS Windows application that allows you to program an instrument or
M-Module over GP-IB or from an embedded controller. For systems with a GPIB-VXI Command
Module, such as the E1406, connect a GPIB cable between the computer’s I/O interface and the
Command Module. If the instrument is not available, you can still run the SFP with ‘live mode’ disabled.
Start the SFP by selecting the LOGO and instrument name in the VXIpnp program group. Online help is
available with the SFP.

M-Module Field Wiring Information
The following section provides a brief, summary of the field wiring for each Hewlett-Packard M-module. It
includes a connector pin-out table, a simplified schematic, and a connector drawing. For additional information
about a specific M-Module, refer to the respective M-Module’s User’s Manual.
Caution
Caution
Do not exceed the voltage and current specifications for the individual modules.
All installation, wiring, and configuration procedures are to be done with power
DISCONNECTED from the VXI mainframe and power DISCONNECTED from any
external wiring/cabling.
WARNING To prevent electric shock, tighten all faceplate and mounting screws when
installing M-Modules on the Carrier and the field wiring connector mounting
screws.
Assembling the M-Module Field Wiring Connector
Most M-Modules come supplied with a 44-pin connector and matching hood with strain relief (kit part number
E2251-01203). You must supply your own cable. The figure on the next page shows how to assemble the
connector and hood.
Note
Do not assemble the hood to the connector for the two internally-mounted M-Modules. Strain
relief can be provided by wire ties through holes in the Carrier.
