Description of this Upgrade

This upgrade converts your N52xxA microwave network analyzer or N5264A microwave receiver to an equivalent N52xxB or N5264B. This is done by removing the existing front panel assembly, outer covers, and installing a new front panel assembly, SSDA, and outer covers.

As part of this upgrade, there are other assemblies that need to be verified, because the boards must be of a certain type to be compatible with the B model upgrade. Refer to “Initial Instrument Inspection” on page 18.

After installation of this upgrade, your analyzer will be a “B” model rather than an “A” model.

STOP! This repair must be done at a service center! Refer to “Getting

Assistance from Keysight” on page 4.

IMPORTANT! As part of the upgrade, the service center needs a copy of

the customer’s Keysight License files that were sent to them from Keysight. Refer to “License Key File Redemption” on page 5.

IMPORTANT! N5244/5A PNAs with H29 cannot upgrade to N5244/5B.

Included in the contents of this kit is a Software Entitlement Certificate instructions on how to redeem it. Do NOT attempt to redeem this until you have read “License Key File Redemption” on page 5.

For additional information on using the Keysight Software Manager and redeeming a Software Entitlement Certificate, refer to
