NOTE While the replacement disk drive has the Windows XP operating system loaded

onto it, the license that accompanies it in this kit is for Windows Vista. This is

being done within the scope of our license agreement with Microsoft and is

necessary at this time, as the instrument applications software is not supported or

qualified with any operating system other than Windows XP.

Option PC3 - Single Core High Performance Processor Upgrade Kit

Overview

This upgrade will not only upgrade the instrument central processing unit (CPU) to a single core high

performance processor, it will also upgrade the instrument disk drive to a rear panel removable solid

state drive.

With the disk drive being replaced the instrument calibration data will need to be transferred to the

new disk drive during this upgrade process. Once the instrument calibration data has been transferred

to the new disk drive the instrument performance will remain as it was prior to the upgrade.

All user data will also be lost after this upgrade is complete, but it is up to the end user to have backed

up their data before sending it in for servicing, so this procedure will not cover backing up and

restoring of any user data.

The instrument model and serial numbers, as well as all installed license keys, will not need to be

transferred to the new disk drive while performing this upgrade, as the master copy of all of these is

stored on the instrument Midplane board assembly and will be automatically copied to the new disk

drive when the instrument first boots up.

The procedure outlined in this document will guide you through the following steps, which will need

to be followed closely, and performed in the order defined:

1. Pre-upgrade Status Check

2. Calibration Data Backup

3. Hardware Installation

4. BIOS Setting Verification

5. EULA Acceptance

6. Signal Analyzer Application Pre-Run Configuration

a. License Key Installation

b. FPGA Code Update

7. Calibration Data Restoring (SQL Database)

8. Installation Verification

1. Pre-Upgrade Status Check

Before performing this upgrade you will need to know the status of the instrument being upgraded in a

couple of areas.

Pre-Existing Issues and Error Messages

Power the instrument on and verify that the instrument will not only boot up, but that the signal

analyzer application software will load properly. This would include verifying that there are no

error messages displayed in the Status Bar of the application window.

If there are any problem with the instrument at this point, including the presence of any error

messages, either repair the instrument prior to proceeding with this upgrade or make detailed

notes of the instrument status in the space provided below and address them once this upgrade

has been completed if they continue to be present.

Pre-Upgrade Instrument Software Revision

Determine the current instrument software revision and record it in the space below by pressing

System, Show, System on the instrument.

Instrument S/W Revision: ______________________

2. Calibration Data Backup

In order for the instrument being upgraded to not need all of the instrument adjustments and

performance verification tests to be run after this upgrade is completed the calibration data will need

to be backed up onto an external drive prior to removing the existing processor / disk drive assembly.

NOTE While the backing up and restoring of the calibration data to the new disk drive

will return the instrument performance to the state that it was prior to this upgrade

this does not guarantee that all instrument performance parameters meet their

specified values. A full instrument calibration would be required to verify this.

Follow the steps outlined below for your calibration data backup.

1. Connect a USB keyboard and mouse to two of the instrument rear panel USB ports.

2. Connect a USB storage device that has been scanned for virus to one of the front panel USB

port.

3. Press System, Alignments, Backup or Restore Align Data.

4. The Alignment Data Wizard window as shown in Figure 1 will appear.

Figure 1 Alignment Data Wizard

5. Follow the on-screen instruction to backup the calibration data to the USB storage device.

The file will be saved with a .bak file suffix.

3. Hardware Installation

CAUTION Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage or destroy electronic components. All

work on electronic assemblies should be performed at a static-safe workstation.

Refer to the documentation that pertains to your instrument for information about

static-safe workstations and ordering static-safe accessories.

Removal

1. Turn off the instrument and remove the power cord from the rear panel.

2. Refer to Figure 2. Remove the existing CPU assembly from the instrument by removing the 6 rear

panel screws (1). The CPU assembly can be removed from the chassis by pulling straight out the

back. Use the two ejectors to pull the CPU assembly out from the chassis.

Replacement

1. Refer to Figure 3. With the ejectors pulled out, slide the new CPU assembly into the slot at the rear

of the instrument and push on the assembly to mate the connectors to the midplane assembly.

Secure the board with the ejectors.

2. Replace the six screws (1) that attach the CPU assembly to the chassis. Torque to 9 inch-pounds.

3. Locate the Windows Vista License Sticker from the kit and apply it to the rear of the instrument as

shown in Figure 4 covering the existing license sticker.

Option PC3 - Single Core High Performance Processor Upgrade Kit

4. BIOS Setting Verification

There is one setting in the CPU BIOS that must be verified and may require changing when the CPU

assembly is replaced. This setting needs to be correct in order for the analyzer to always boot up

correctly.

• “IDE 2” must be set to #1 in the “Boot priority order”

Verifying Boot Priority

1. Connect an external USB keyboard and mouse to two of the instrument rear panel USB ports.

2. Turn on instrument power.

3. Confirm Agilent Technologies splash screen comes up within a few seconds as shown in Figure 5.

4. Press “F2” on the external keyboard when at the Agilent Technologies splash screen (as shown in

Figure 5) to enter the CPU BIOS Setup Utility (as shown in Figure 6).
