Since the introduction of the HP Infinium Oscilloscope family in
September 1997, HP has incorporated several improvements in the
oscilloscopes. These improvements are included in this upgrade.
This upgrade kit (P/N 54810-68710) provides hardware and software you
need to upgrade your HP Infinium Demo Unit or Loaner Unit to a more
durable HP Infinium Oscilloscope. All of the improvements in this
upgrade are automatically built into all HP Infinium scopes
manufactured starting April 1998.
Hewlett-Packard understands that oscilloscopes that are used as sales
demonstration units and loaner units are subjected to mechanical stress
that is higher than normal. This means that the HP demonstration units
and loaner units require these upgrades without a doubt, based on their
high usage and high visibility.
HP Infinium scopes manufactured before March 1998 did not include
the Local Area Network (LAN) capability as a standard feature. If you
have an HP demonstration unit or loaner unit that does not have a LAN
card installed, you should use this opportunity to add the LAN capability.
The HP E2650A LAN Upgrade Kit contains the hardware, software, and
installation instructions for adding the LAN capability to all HP Infinium
Oscilloscopes. See Service Note 54810A-04 for additional information.
Models Affected
These are the HP Infinium Oscilloscope models that may require this
upgrade:
• HP 54810A

Upgrade Instructions
This upgrade is required if the oscilloscope serial number prefix is lower
than 3813. For example:
Serial # US 3473nnnn — An upgrade is required.
Serial # US 3813nnnn — An upgrade is not required.
Tools Required
• T-15 Torque Wrench (>30 in-lb)
• HP Infinium Service Manual (See Upgrade Note 1 in
“Notes in Upgrade Procedures” at the end of this document.)
Use HP Service Manual 54810-99003 for these oscilloscope models:
• HP 54810A
• HP 54815A
• HP 54820A
• HP 54825A
Use HP Service Manual 54845-99002 for these oscilloscope models:
• HP 54845A
Follow ESD Precautions
When performing the procedures in this upgrade, you must use proper
ESD precautions. As a minimum, you must place the instrument on a
properly grounded ESD mat and wear a properly grounded ESD wrist
strap.
CAUTION Failure to implement proper antistatic measures may result in damage to the
HP Infinium Oscilloscope.
CAUTION Do not remove or replace any circuit board assemblies in the oscilloscope
while power is applied. The assemblies contain components that may be
damaged if you remove or replace the assembly while power is connected to
the oscilloscope.

Upgrade Instructions
WARNING SHOCK HAZARD! To avoid electrical shock, adhere closely to the following
procedures. Also, after disconnecting the power cable, wait at least three
minutes for the capacitors on the power supply and sweep boards to discharge
before servicing the oscilloscope. Hazardous voltages exist on the inverter for
the display monitor.
Parts Required
The parts listed here are contained in this Demo Upgrade Kit, and are
necessary in upgrading the scope. The LAN Upgrade Kit part number

Step 4. Prepare HP Infinium for Hardware Changes
Step 4. Prepare HP Infinium for Hardware Changes
1 Install the front panel cover onto the Infinium Oscilloscope. This will
allow you to place the instrument face down so that you can easily
remove and replace the cabinet sleeve.
2 Remove the oscilloscope’s side handle, the rear screws, and feet using
a Torx-15 driver. Then remove the oscilloscope’s cabinet sleeve
(MP52).
3 Remove the screws from the acquisition assembly as shown, and
connect the stand-offs using stand-off screws.
a. For HP 54845A:
On the bottom side of the scope, locate the acquisition board assembly
(A13). Remove the two mounting screws directly in front of and
behind the Channel 1 A/D heatsink. Then remove the mounting screw
directly in front of the Channel 3 A/D heatsink.

Step 5. Install the LAN Card (if necessary)
b. For all other HP Infinium Models:
On the bottom side of the scope, locate the acquisition board assembly
(A13). Remove the mounting screw directly behind the Channel 1 A/
D heatsink. Then remove the mounting screw directly behind the
Channel 3 A/D heatsink.
4 Install the 25-mm spacers using the 35-mm screws in place of the screws
you removed in the previous step.
5 Install the protector caps on top of the spacers to prevent intermittent
electrical contact with the bottom of the cabinet sleeve.
Step 5. Install the LAN Card (if necessary)

• W11 — acquisition signal cable
• W12 — probe power and control cable
• W13 — probe interface cable
3 Secure the front panel keyboard cable (W16) to the scope interface card
(A6) with the cable tie that is provided.
4 Replace any cable that could become disconnected during rough
shipping and handling.

Step 8. Finish HP Infinium Hardware Changes
Step 8. Finish HP Infinium Hardware Changes
1 Re-install the oscilloscope’s cabinet sleeve, sleeve screws, and rear feet.
Tighten all screws to the HP specification of 2.4 Nm (21 in-lbs) of torque.
2 Inspect the side-handle screws. The old screws are silver-colored.
Replace the old screws with the new black-oxide colored looseningresistant screws.
3 If the screws are of the old type, remove them using a pair of long-nose
pliers or the Torx-15 driver.
4 Using either the shaft of the pliers or the Torx driver, pry off the handle
end caps. Then place the handle assembly on a flat surface with the
screws pointing upward. Place the pliers or Torx driver between the
end caps and the handle plastic, and pry off the end caps.
5 Re-assemble the handle using the new black handle screws. Make sure
that when the two-dimple side of the handle faces up, the screws are
mounted into the bushing with the screw threads pointed down. Press
the end caps firmly back onto the handle assembly.
6 Re-attach the black-screw-equipped side handle, and tighten both
handle screws to the HP specification of 2.4 Nm (21 in-lbs) of torque.
