System Configurations

The system may be configured either for coaxial measurement or on-wafer
measurement.

Coaxial Configuration When the 8510XF is configured for measurement through coaxial

connections, the network analyzer, millimeter wave controller, and RF and
LO sources are all installed in the system rack as show n in Figure 1. The t est
heads are placed on a work surface which is mounted below the millimeter
wave controller.

Wafer Probe
Configuration

When the 8510XF is configured for measurement through on-wafer probe
connections, the millimeter wave controller, and the RF and LO sources are
installed in the rack. However, the network analyzer and the wafer probe
station are placed side-by-side on a work surface in front of the test system,
as shown in Figure 2.

E7345A/E7355A - Installation Manual 7

Step 1. Secure Static Safe Work Station

Static electricity builds up on the body and on tools, including calibration
components and devices under test. When static electricity is accidentally
discharged, sensitive circuit elements can be damaged.

CAUTION It is important that appropriate measures are taken to adequately discharge

static electricity which may otherwise damage test equipment circuitry.

Circuit elements wit hin a de vic e can be damaged fr om static e lectric ity, such
as through acciden tal contact with the center conductor of a connector. Even
a discharge that is too small to be felt can cause circuit damage.

Protection against electrostatic discharge (ESD) is essential while
connecting, cleaning, or inspecting connectors attached to static-sensitive
circuits, such as those found in test sets. Protective measures appropriate to
the 8510 series systems are described below.

• Always use a grounded anti-static mat in front of your test equipment,

and wear a grounded wrist strap attached to it.

• Ground yourself before you clean, inspect, or make a connection to a

static-sensitive device or test port. You can, for example, grasp the
grounded outer shell of the tes t port briefl y to disc harge static from your
body .

• Discharge static electricity from a device before connecting it, such as

by touching the device briefly through a resistor of at least 1 M
either the outer shell of the test port or to another exposed ground.

ordered from Agilent Technologies:

Memory

The followi ng info rmatio n appli es to both t he E7345A and E7355A upgr ade
kits. Use this procedure to ensure that the existing 85107B system works
properly before installing the upgrade package.

Procedure 1. Turn on the instruments in the following order:

a. the 83651B source (be sure to turn the switch to power on, not

standby)
b. the 8517B test set
c. the 8510C network analyzer

2. On the 85102, press the green preset key.

3. Does the system pass self-test (85101 self tests, 85102 running error
messages, and test set unratio of power tests) and display a
trace? If not, do not perform the upgrade until the system has been
serviced.

4. Initialize a blank disk, as follows:
a. load a blank diskette (with write-protect off),
b. on the 85102, press
c. on the 85101, select

5. Does the system initialize the disk and display
not, tag the 85101, indicating that it has a defective disk drive. The disk
drive must be working to load the 8510XF firmware.

NOTE Steps 6 and 7 below apply only to a CRT based display.

6. Turn the CRT to its highest intensity. Does the image remain focused? If
not, return the CRT to its normal intensity and tag the 85101, indicating
that it has a defective CRT.

7. Return the CRT to its normal intensity. As long as the CRT functions
properly, continue with this procedure.

then remove the top cover. The PC boards are located beneath the metal
cover that runs the length of the right side of the chassis.

3. Remove the 21 screws that secure the cover and remove the cover to
access the PC boards. The board that contains the non-volatile memory
is the A6 board, and is easily identified by its orange card extractor.

4. Remove the plastic card spacers that position the A6 board.

5. Gently grab the card extractor tabs on the ends of the board, and pull
away and up to remove the board.

6. Place the board on an ESD safe work surface. There ar e 16 ba nks on the
board, and 8510XF requires at least 13 banks. There are 8 IC chips
supplied with this kit. Fill the empty slots until at least 13 banks are
filled. The ICs to be loaded in these sockets are a CMOS version of the
original replacement IC (part number 1818-4653).

7. Carefully bend the leads of the IC chips so that the leads are
perpendicular to the body and insert them into the empty sockets. Be
sure to match up the notch on the top of the chips with the notch on the
sockets. Gently press them into place making su re that all le ads go into
the socket.

10 hex. If any other hex location is listed, refer to the

E7345A/E7355A - Installation Manual 15

First Unuseable Memory
Location Read

0C Hex U13 or U29
0D Hex U14 or U30
0E Hex U15 or U31
0F Hex U16 or U32

Possible Fault Location

Try replacing one or the other or both of the EEPROMS listed if you do
not get 10 Hex as the first useable memory location. Continue repeating
the above test until the bad EEPROM(s) are identified.

19. When the EEPROMs are found to be working properly, turn off the
8510C and remove the power cord from the rear panel.

20. Reinstall the plastic spacers on the A6 board.

21. Place the cover over the PC board cage and secure the original 21
screws.

22. Install the top cover on the 8510C and finish integrating the
8510C into the system depending on the configuration.

Step 6. Disconnect Unneeded Equipment

If upgrading to an 8510XF with Option 006, the 8517B test set must have
Option 001, multi-test set compatibility. If 8517B does not have Option 001
installed, you will need to order and install this upgrade kit (p/n
08510-60008).

If this is the case, the 8517B will need to b e relocated to facilitate the
millimeter wave controller. The 8517B should be removed from the rack and
placed on the work surface or another rack. The 8517B should be placed as
close to the millimeter wave controller as possible.

If the 8510XF does not include Option 006, the n remov e the 8517 B from the
test system prior to installing the upgrade.

Step 7. Install the Millimeter Wave Controller

Install the 7341A millimeter wave controller into the system rack as shown
in Figure1 on page3 (in-rack configuration) or Figure2 on page4
(table-top configuration).

Step 8. Install the 83621B RF Source

Install the second source into the system rack as shown in Figure 1 (in-rack
configuration) or Figure 2 (table-top configuration).

Step 9. Install the Millimeter Wave Test Set

Using the following procedure, install the millimeter wave test set:

1. Place the test heads on the table top or work surface in front of the
millimeter wave controller.

2. Connect the cables as shown in Figure 3. Installat ion of these cables may
require a long, 5/16-inch open-ended wrench.

Step 10. Reconnect the System

Reconnect the test system according to the desired configuration. Figure 4 shows the
system wiring for the coaxial configuration. Figure5 on page22 shows the system
wiring for the on-wafer configuration.
