It delivers innovative cooling performance technology, improved backplane design, high reliability, lBasic mainframe monitoring for confident easy maintenance, and versatile accessories. The power measurements supply in the HP E8401A VXI mainframe provides 500 lCompliant with VXIbus and VXIplug&play watts of usable power, sufficient for most automated Specifications test applications. The innovative air distribution system provides extremely quiet and efficient cooling. Basic mainframe monitoring of the HP E8401A indicates normal operating conditions at a glance. A front panel diagnostics connector allows continuous local or remote system monitoring. This mainframe also complies with the VXI Specification by providing injector surface rails used by the HP QUIC easy module insertion and extraction system. Superior cooling, reliable design and system monitoring make the HP E8401A an excellent choice for most VXI test system applications.
