Installation Procedure
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.
IMPORTANT Calibration File Backup
Backing up the calibration file before changing the A4 Disk Drive is highly
recommended. To do this you will need to connect a USB mouse and follow the
steps below. This is only available for XSA-Series Software version A.01.55 or
greater. If the file cannot be backed up or the instrument software version is
<A.01.55, all instrument adjustments will need to be run after the drive
replacement.
1. Navigate to the following directory using Windows Explorer:
C:\Program Files\Agilent\SignalAnalysis\Physics
2. Double-Click BackupAndRestore.exe
3. The following Dialog box will appear:
4. Set the Backup File to the USB drive and save the file.
5. When the A4 Disk Drive is replaced restore this file using the same utility on
the new assembly.
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.
