Installing the EEPROM
Procedure
1. Ensure a static-safe work station. Check for the following:
a. The static mat sits on a clean, flat, sturdy surface.
b. The static mat has an earth ground connection.
c. The static mat has a connected wrist strap.
2. Install the EEPROM:
a. Remove the HP 85101 display processor from the system.
b. Remove the top cover of the display processor.
c. Refer to Figure A-l. Remove the A8 assembly.

Instrument State Files
HP

Network Analyzers
Not all instrument state
Table D-l lists the firmware revisions and their file compatibility.
Be aware that if you save instrument state files (on tape or disk) on an analyzer with a given
firmware revision, you may not be able to use those files in an instrument having a more
recent firmware version.
The first vertical column in Table D-l. lists the firmware revision number under which your
work disk files were created. The horizontal row lists the upgrade operating system revision
numbers.
n To read Table D-l, look for the revision number you used to save data on disks.
H
Then look for the current operating system (horizontal axis) installed in your instrument.
H
If your previously saved disk information is saved with a compatible operating system
revision, there is a “yes” printed in the vertical column where the two columns meet.
H
If there is a “no” printed there, the data from your work disk must be recreated and saved
under the new operating system.
Caution
The analyzer successfully loads incompatible instrument state files. When
the incompatible file is recalled, however, the display blanks, and the front
panel does not respond. Do not press (PRESET). See “Recovering from an Error
State” for instructions about recovering properly from a crashed system.

Recreating the Instrument State
In the case of file incompatibility just described, you must manually recreate the desired
instrument state, then reload it on disk.
If you encounter an incompatibility after upgrading your instrument to firmware revision
C.06.50 or greater, and you do not have time to recreate earlier instrument states, reload the
old firmware. This gives you full use of instrument state files created on an instrument with
the earlier firmware revision.
Remember
Machine dump files contain instrument states, and have the same
compatibility rules.
