CRTs retain hazardous voltages for long periods of time after power is turned off.
Before attempting any servicing, discharge the CRT by shorting the anode to
chassis ground. When discharging the CRT, connect the discharge path to ground
and then the anode. Rough handling may cause the CRT to implode. Do not nick
or scratch the glass or subject it to undue pressure when removing or installing it.
When handling the CRT, wear safety goggles and heavy gloves for protection.
Use Care When Servicing With Power On. Dangerous voltages or currents may
exist in this product. Disconnect power, remove battery (if applicable), and
disconnect test leads before removing protective panels, soldering, or replacing

TLA 700 Series Installation Manual
Basic Installation
Check the Shipping List
This chapter describes all of the steps needed to install the TLA 700 Series Logic
Analyzer. It is written from the perspective that you purchased most of the items
uninstalled and you intend to install all of the pieces. If you purchased a logic
analyzer with modules already installed, you should still review all of the
information in this chapter and perform those steps that apply to your specific
situation.
This chapter deals mainly with hardware installation. The basic operating
software is already installed on the internal hard disk. However, if you ordered
additional software, such as microprocessor support software, you must install
that software yourself. Refer to Installing Micropr ocessor Support Software on
page 15.
Verify that you have received all of the parts of your logic analyzer. Use the
shipping lists that came with your logic analyzer to compare against the actual
contents of your order. You should also verify the following:
Verify that you have the correct power cords for your geographical area.
Verify that you have backup copies of the installed software. Store the
backup software in a safe location where you can easily retrieve the software
for maintenance purposes.
NOTE. Keep the software packaging available because you will need it to enter
the Windows 95 software registration number when you first power on the logic
analyzer. (See Step 6 under Power on the Logic Analyzer on page 11.)
Verify that you have the correct module types and probes.
Verify that you have all the standard and optional accessories that you
ordered.
Remember to fill out and send in the customer registration card. The registration
card is packaged with this manual.

Basic Installation
Check the Environmental Requirements
Read this section before attempting any installation procedures. This section
describes site considerations, power requirements, and ground connections for
your logic analyzer.
Site Considerations:
Portable Mainframe
Site Considerations:
Benchtop Mainframe
The portable mainframe is designed to operate on a bench or on a cart in the
normal position (on the bottom feet). For proper cooling, at least two inches
(5.1 cm) of clearance is recommended on the rear and sides of the mainframe.
You can also operate the mainframe while it rests on the rear feet. If you operate
the mainframe while it is resting on the rear feet, make sure that you properly
route any cables coming out of the rear of the mainframe to avoid damaging
them.
CAUTION. Keep the bottom of the mainframe clear of obstructions to ensure
proper cooling.
The benchtop mainframe is designed to operate on a bench or in a rackmount
environment. For proper cooling, at least two inches (5.1 cm) of clearance is
recommended on the rear and sides of the mainframe.
WARNING. Because of the size and weight of the benchtop mainframe, use care
when lifting or moving the mainframe to avoid personal injury while performing
the installation procedures. Use two people to lift or move the mainframe.

Connections
Figure 1 shows chassis ground connections. Use the chassis ground connections
to connect the grounds of one or more instruments to the logic analyzer to ensure
a common ground connection between instruments.
WARNING. Do not remove the safety ground screw from the benchtop mainframe.
The safety ground screw must always be in place to ensure the proper bonding of
the power supply to the mainframe.

Install the Modules
Basic Installation
CAUTION. Do not install or remove any modules while the mainframe is powered
on; doing so can damage the modules or the logic analyzer.
If your logic analyzer does not have the modules preinstalled, install the modules
as shown in Figure 2. You can install the modules in any slot. Use a Phillips
screwdriver with a Number 1 tip to tighten the retaining screws after seating the
modules in place.
If you want to merge two logic analyzer modules to create a wider module, refer
to Appendix A: Merging Logic Analyzer Modules on page 33.

Basic Installation
Cover Empty Slots
If you have any unused (empty) slots in your mainframe, you must install blank
slot panel covers to meet EMC specifications. Install a blank slot panel cover for
each empty slot as shown in Figure 3. Make sure that the EMI shielding is in
contact with the adjacent panel or module cover. Installing the covers provides
proper EMI shielding and reduces audible noise.
CAUTION. Use only Tektronix TLA 700 Series slot panel covers on the benchtop
mainframe. Do not use non-Tektronix covers, otherwise the mainframe may not
meet cooling and EMC requirements.
