Hi Bob  ( and everyone else )

Thanks for the quick reply---Your connection
information proved to be very valuable and the Power
Supply now works just fine--I just wish that
HP/ Harrison / Agilent would have standardized the
rear panel labeling among all of their products 
to make  field setup easier !!  Oh, Well !!!

Thanks again

 Hi, Ray.  I have a 6201A (not B) that is working ,
 but no manual for it.  This is the jumper setup on mine:
 
 A1 - A2
 A3 - A4 - A5
 A6 - A7 - A8
 A9 - (-S) - (-)
 A10 - (+S) - (+)
