Safety

Be sure to read the introductions to all procedures. These introductions provide
important information needed to do the service correctly, safely, and efficiently.

This manual uses certain conventions that you should become familiar with
before attempting service.

Throughout this manual, the term module appears. A module is composed of
electrical and mechanical assemblies, circuit cards, interconnecting cables, and a
user-accessible front panel. References to a module are different than references
to products such as “Sampling modules”. “Phase Reference modules”, or
“Accessory modules” which are products installed in the instrument compart­ments.

This manual refers to any field-replaceable assembly or mechanical part by its
name or generically as a replaceable part. In general, a replaceable part is any
circuit board or assembly, such as a hard disk drive, or a mechanical part, such as
I/O port connectors, that is listed in the replaceable parts list of Chapter 8.

Symbols and terms related to safety appear in the General Safety Summary found
at the beginning of this manual.

Install the Sampling Modules

CAUTION. Do not install or remove any sampling modules while the instrument is
powered on.

Always power the instrument down before attempting to remove or insert any
sampling module.

WARNING. Sampling modules are inherently vulnerable to static damage. Always
observe static-safe procedures and cautions as outlined in your sampling module
user manual.

Check Your Sampling

Module Manual(s)

Read the sampling-module user manual for instructions on how to install your
sampling modules.

Large-module compartments (2)

Small-module compartments (4)

Connect ESD wrist strap here

NOTE. After first installing a sampling module(s) or after moving a sampling
module from one compartment to another, you should run compensation from the
Utilities menu to ensure the instrument meets its accuracy specifications. You
must run a compensation (accessed from the Utilities menu) whenever the
extender configuration is changed from that present at the last compensation. In
short, if you install or remove an 80E00 extender, run a compensation. If you
exchange a extender for one of a different length, run a compensation.

Figure 1--1 shows compartments for both large and small sampling modules,
along with the plug-in connector for the ESD wrist strap that you must use to
install and remove these modules.

Installation

Maximum Configuration

You can install up to two large sampling modules and four small modules for a
maximum of 10 inputs (CSA and TDS 8000 and 8000B) or 12 inputs (CSA and
TDS 8200). Of these inputs, only eight inputs can be active at one time. Also,
note that installing a large module may disable a small-module compartment.
Refer to the user manual for compartment interaction for the various CSA and
TDS 8000 Series mainframes.

Install probes, cables, and other connection accessories to your sampling
modules as appropriate for your application and sampling module. Again,
consult your sampling-module and connection-accessory manuals. Continue with
the next section after installing the sampling modules.

Connect the Peripherals

The peripheral connections are mostly the same as those you would make on a
personal computer. The connection points are shown in Figure 1--2. See
Table 1--1 on page 1--3 for additional connection information.

WARNING. Before installing peripheral accessories to connectors (mouse, keyboard,
etc.), power down the instrument. See Powering Off the Instrument on page 1--6.

Software Installation

Installation

This section describes how to install the system software found on the 8000
Series OS Restore CDs that accompany this product. The instrument ships with
the product software installed, so only perform these procedures if reinstallation

becomes necessary.

Description

Software Release Notes

The product software comprises two parts:

H Microsoft Windows. The Microsoft Windows operating system comes

preinstalled on the instrument. Microsoft Windows is the operating system

on which the user-interface application of this product runs. The CD-

ROM(s) included with your instrument contain the Windows operating

system which can be used to rebuild the instrument hard drive.

If you need to reinstall Windows, you may be able to do so without

rebuilding the instrument hard drive. See Operating System Reinstallation on

page 1--7 for more information.

H User Interface (UI) Application. The UI application complements the

hardware controls of the front panel, allowing complete set up of all

instrument features. The CD-ROM(s) included with your instrument contain

the UI application for reinstallation if rebuilding the hard drive.

Tektronix provides updates to the user interface application on a regular

basis. Updates can be obtained by visiting the Tektronix Web site at

www.tektronix.com.

Read the software release notes in the Release Notes file (or Readme file for
earlier versions), if present, on the CD-ROM containing the user interface
application before performing any installation procedures. This file contains
additional installation and operation information that supercedes other product
documentation.

After installation, you can also read the copy from a directory on the product:

C:\Programs Files\TDSCSA8000\System

Operating System

Reinstallation

CSA8000 & TDS8000 Series Instruments and Modules

If reinstalling Microsoft Windows becomes necessary, use the Windows
Operating System restore CD(s) that came with your instrument. Follow the
installation procedures provided with the CD(s). The procedures vary between
instruments and the version of Microsoft Windows being installed.

NOTE. Only do the reinstall if the Microsoft Windows operating system is
missing or corrupted.

Installation

System Hard Drive

Rebuild

System Diagnostics

Windows Safe Mode

If you cannot reboot from the instrument hard drive, you must rebuild the
instrument hard drive. This process will return the hard disk to the its original
condition present when the instrument shipped.

Data and programs you may have installed will be lost when rebuilding the hard
drive.

If you must rebuild the system hard drive, use the System Rebuild CD(s) that
shipped with the instrument. Follow the instructions in the booklet found in the
CD case.

In case of instrument problems, you may wish to run the system diagnostics. If
needed, you can see the procedure in the Performance Verification and Specifica-
tions manual.

If the instrument is turned off before the operating system boots, or if you’ve
installed a third-party product with a driver incompatible with instrument start
up, Windows will open in Safe mode. The touchscreen will be inoperable;
therefore, you must install the standard-accessory mouse and keyboard to operate
the instrument.

When you have finished investigating and removed any barrier to Windows
start-up, you can reboot. If the instrument no longer boots to Safe mode, you can
remove the keyboard and mouse if desired.
