Hard Drive Replacement and Spare
Agilent 86038B Photonic Dispersion and Loss Analyzer, Second Edition
The Agilent 86038B can be provided with an easily replaceable
Hard Drive via the Option #520. This option takes advantage of
the modular back-panel hard drive configuration of the PNA.
This option is useful for controlled working environments,
where storage devices should not leave the premises, by
permitting the instrument to have an "inside" and an "outside"
disk drive. The option can also be used to provide a backup, to
minimize downtime in case of a drive failure.
The hard drive module will be shipped with a pre-installed
Windows XP operating system and pre-installed PNA software.
The unit can be installed into the PNA using the instructions
enclosed with the drive.
When the unit is then started, the PNA software will be
launched. Close this software interface to install the PDLA User
Interface software.
The setup package for the PDLA software is included on the CD
enclosed with the spare drive, and can also be obtained via the
Agilent web page: www.agilent.com/comms/octsolutions
This software package can be transferred to the PDLA using the
LAN connection, an external USB CD drive or via another USB
storage device.
The setup package should then be started on the PDLA by
double-clicking on the setup file and accepting the
recommended settings.
After this setup, the instrument will launch with the PDLA user
interface at the next boot.
After successfully making this installation, and any other user
configurations, it is recommended to create a user backup
image according to the procedure in the previous section.
