Installation Procedure for the Upgrade Kit

The network analyzer must be in proper working condition prior to installing this option. Any
necessary repairs must be made before proceeding with this installation.

WARNING

This installation requires the removal of the analyzer’s protective outer
covers. The analyzer must be powered down and disconnected from the
mains supply before performing this procedure.

Electrostatic Discharge Protection

Protection against electrostatic discharge (ESD) is essential while removing or connecting
cables or assemblies within the network analyzer.

Static electricity can build up on your body and can easily damage sensitive internal circuit
elements when discharged. Static discharges too small to be felt can cause permanent
damage. To prevent damage to the instrument:

• always wear a grounded wrist strap having a 1 MΩ resistor in series with it when handling
components and assemblies.

• always use a grounded, conductive table mat while working on the instrument.

• always wear a heel strap when working in an area with a conductive floor. If you are
uncertain about the conductivity of your floor, wear a heel strap.

Figure 1 shows a typical ESD protection setup using a grounded mat and wrist strap. Refer to
“Tools Required for the Installation” on page 7 for part numbers.

Step 13. Replace the Front Panel Nameplate

Remove the Old Nameplate

1. Using a sharp object such as a knife blade, lift one end of the old nameplate (item
careful not to scratch the painted surface.

2. Using your fingers, pull the nameplate completely off of the front panel and discard it.

3. If any adhesive remains on the front panel surface, it can be removed by rubbing it with
your finger. Do not use a sharp object to remove this adhesive. If necessary, the surface can
be cleaned with isopropol alcohol.

Install the New Nameplate

IMPORTANT

1. Remove the protective backing from the new nameplate to expose the adhesive. Avoid
touching the adhesive with your fingers as this may affect its ability to adhere to the front
panel surface.

2. Loosely align the new nameplate over the recess in the front panel and apply lightly.

3. Once the nameplate is properly aligned, press it firmly onto the surface to secure it.

Step 18. Perform Source and Receiver Calibration Adjustments

The following adjustments must be made due to the change in the full frequency range of the
analyzer.

• source calibration

• receiver calibration

These adjustments are described in the PNA service guide and in the PNA on-line HELP. A
list of equipment required to perform these adjustments can be found at “Tools Required for

the Installation” on page 7.

Performance Tests and System Verification

The analyzer should now operate and phase lock over its entire frequency range.

If you experience difficulty with the basic functioning of the analyzer, contact Agilent. Refer to

“Getting Assistance from Agilent” on page 2.

Although the analyzer functions, its performance relative to its specifications has not been
verified for the additional frequency range enabled by this upgrade.

It is recommended that a full instrument calibration be performed using the N2721A
performance test software.

If the testing of the analyzer’s full range of specifications is not required, a system verification
can be performed.

Refer to the analyzer’s service guide for information on performance tests and system
verification.
