Installation Note N9032-90007 5
Solid State Disk Drive
Overview
This option provides a removable solid state disk drive for your X-Series Signal Analyzer, MXE EMI
receiver, Multi-Touch, or PXE EMI receiver. This option could have been purchased for one of the
following reasons:
1. To provide an additional solid state disk drive for use when the original solid state drive must
be left inside of a controlled secure environment.
2. To upgrade an instrument to a larger solid state disk drive.
While there may be other reasons to have purchased this solid state disk drive, this document will
specifically cover the requirements needed for putting this drive into use for the reasons listed
above.
Since this option was ordered as an upgrade; only default factory calibration data will have been
copied onto this drive at the factory. You will need to follow the procedure included in this
document in order to copy the calibration data to it from the instrument that it will be used in.
The instrument model and serial numbers will not need to be transferred to the new disk drive, as
the master copy of all of these is stored on the instrument A7 Midplane board assembly.
The license keys stored on the Midplane board assembly will be automatically copied to the new
disk drive when the instrument first boots up.
Disk Drive Interconnect Life Expectancy
If this upgrade has been ordered to use as an additional solid state disk drive for use when the
original solid state drive must be left inside of a controlled secure environment you will want to be
aware of the following information with regards to the life expectancy of the interconnect between
the removable disk drive and the instrument.
The life expectancy of both the connector on the removable disk drive and the mating connector
internal to the instrument is 1,500 cycles. If this is exceeded it is very likely that a failure will occur
between these connections. Keysight highly recommends that this cycle limit not be exceeded to
prevent an unwanted failure of the instrument.
This kit is only for use on instruments with the PC8 or PC9 processor installed. Option SS1
should be used if the operating system is Windows 10 and the processor is PC6, PC6S, PC7, or
PC7S. Refer to Determining Installed Options and Processor Assembly Type to confirm which
processor and operating system is installed.
Should an incorrect version of the X Series calibration file(s) be installed in an instrument, no
error messages will be displayed. The instrument may however perform outside of the warranted
specifications for that instrument. It is therefore extremely important to ensure that the
instrument specific calibration data is properly copied onto this drive before the instrument is
used for making any measurements.
