6 Installation Note N9032-90007
Solid State Disk Drive
Putting the Additional Disk Drive Into Service
As mentioned in the Overview section of this document this option could have been purchased for a
number of different reasons. This section will outline what steps are required to properly configure
the new solid state disk drive before putting it into use.
Before using this solid state disk drive upgrade in any instrument there are three areas of concern
that will need to be addressed.
1. The solid state disk drive upgrade will have been shipped with the currently shipping version
of the instrument software, which may very well be a different version from what is currently
being used in the instrument for which it was purchased.
While an instrument may function properly with different software versions, the software
stored on the different measurement boards within the instrument (FPGA code) may not be
compatible with both versions. Also, the factory calibration data file used by the different
instrument software versions could be incompatible.
2. The solid state disk drive upgrade will have been shipped with a default factory calibration
data file. Before using this drive the instrument specific calibration data file will need to be
copied to it.
Even if the instrument software version that the solid state disk drive upgrade was shipped
with is the same as what is in the instrument the instrument specific factory calibration data
will still need to be copied and transferred onto the new disk drive.
3. This Option SS2 solid state drive is only for use in instruments with the PC8 or PC9 processor.
Do not install this on instruments with a PC6, PC6S, PC7, or PC7S processor. Instruments
running Windows 10 with a PC6, PC6S, PC7, or PC7S processor should use the Opt SS1 drive.
Depending on which reason this drive was purchased the instructions for putting it into service will
vary. Please follow the appropriate instructions below for the reason that most closely fits why this
particular drive was purchased.
