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
