These instructions assume that you are familiar with servicing the instrument. If
you need further details for disassembling or reassembling the instrument, refer
to the TLA600 Series Logic Analyzer Service Manual (071-0728-XX). You can
also contact your nearest Tektronix Service Center for installation assistance.

CAUTION. To prevent static discharge damage, service this product only in a
static-free environment. Always wear a grounded wrist strap, grounded foot
strap, and static resistant apparel while installing this kit.

TLA6UP Logic Analyzer Field Upgrade Kit Instruction Manual

TLA6UP Option 10: MAX HDD and MAX DRAM Installation

The following instructions guide you through the process of replacing the
existing hard disk drive with a greater capacity, but unformatted, hard disk drive.
These instructions additionally guide you through the process of upgrading to
512 MB of DRAM memory.

Back Up Your Software

Before performing these procedures, take steps to protect the contents of your
hard disk drive by backing up any files, applications and personal documents.
Refer to Back Up Files on page 3--4 for more details. Unless you have also
ordered Option 35, TLA Application Software and Windows Operating System
Upgrade, use the backup media that was shipped with the instrument to reinstall
the operating system and applications.

Preparation

Be sure to observe the following precautions to avoid damaging the logic
analyzer while preparing to service it. Contact your nearest Tektronix, Inc.,
Service Center or Tektronix Factory Service Center for installation assistance.

CAUTION. Many components within the instrument are susceptible to static-dis­charge damage.

Service only in a static-free environment. Observe standard handling precautions
for static-sensitive devices.

Always wear a grounded wrist strap, grounded foot strap, and static-resistant
apparel while installing this kit.

WARNING. Dangerous voltages may be present. Before performing any procedure
in this subsection, disconnect the power cord from the line voltage source.
Failure to do so could cause serious injury or death.

H Do not handle static-sensitive components on boards.

H Transport and store static-sensitive boards in their original containers or on

conductive foam. Label any package that contains static-sensitive assem­blies.

TLA6UP Logic Analyzer Field Upgrade Kit Instruction Manual

1--3

TLA6UP Option 10: MAX HDD and MAX DRAM Installation

H Wear anti-static wrist strap while handling the boards to discharge the static

voltage from your body.

H Do not allow anything capable of holding or generating a static charge on

the work surface.

H Avoid handling boards in areas that have a floor or work surface cover that

is capable of generating a static charge.

Remove the Trim

Remove the logic analyzer trim to gain access to either the TLA60X closed face
bracket or the TLA61X/62X flat panel display. You will need a screwdriver with
both a size T-15 Torx tip and a size T-20 Torx tip to perform this procedure.

Removal

Remove the trim as shown in Figure 1--1 on page 1--5 and Figure 1--2 on
page 1--6, using the following procedure.

1. Turn the logic analyzer off.

2. Remove the power cord and all probes.

3. Remove the top cover trim.

a. Remove the accessory pouch; it snaps off.

b. Remove the four T--15 Torx-drive screws that secure the top cover trim

to the instrument. The T--15 Torx-drive screws also secure the snap rings
to the top cover.

c. Remove the top cover trim from the instrument.

4. Remove carrying handle and right/left side trim.

a. Remove the T--20 Torx-drive screws that secure the handle to the

instrument and then remove the handle.

b. Slide the side trim panels toward the rear of the instrument allowing the

tabs to clear the cover openings, then pull out to remove the panels from
the instrument.

software utility that is required for setting the drive speed of your new hard disk
drive.

Verify the TLA600 BIOS

Use the following steps to determine if you have the correct BIOS.

NOTE. If you have a TLA61X/62X logic analyzer, you will need to attach an
external display to your instrument in order to complete the following procedure.

1. Power on the logic analyzer and then press function key F2 to enter the BIOS

setup.

2. Under the Main menu, check that the BIOS version is

SU81010A.86A.0009-P09.

3. If you have the correct version:

a. Insert the IBM/Hitachi HDD Feature Tool floppy disk.

b. Exit the BIOS without saving changes.

c. Skip steps 4 through 11 and continue with IBM/Hitachi HDD Feature

Tool on page 1--18.

4. Insert the TLA600 BIOS disk, Version P09, in the floppy disk drive.

5. Restart the logic analyzer and allow it to boot from the floppy disk. After

booting from the floppy disk, the program on the floppy disk will automati­cally flash the BIOS on the TLA600 controller.

1--14

TLA6UP Logic Analyzer Field Upgrade Kit Instruction Manual

TLA6UP Option 10: MAX HDD and MAX DRAM Installation

CAUTION. Do not remove the TLA600 BIOS disk or turn off the power during the
BIOS flash operation. Doing so will cause the system to become inoperable.

TLA6UP Option 42: Application Software Instructions

The following instructions direct you through the process of upgrading the TLA
application software on your TLA600 series logic analyzer.

NOTE. Third-party software applications are included to use with your logic
analyzer. These applications may include software license agreements. Be sure to
abide by those license agreements.

Upgrade Instruction Overview

The basic upgrade procedure is to manually remove the older software, update
the drivers, and reinstall the new software. The upgrade steps are listed in this
document.

While performing the upgrade procedures, keep the following items in mind:

H Throughout this procedure you will see the term “log on as Administrator.”

The instrument is set up to automatically log on as Administrator (with no
password) so you may not see the log in prompt. If the network setups have
been changed on your instrument, make sure that you log on as Administra­tor or as a user who has administrator privileges. Failure to do so can prevent
the software upgrade from completing successfully.

H After logging on as administrator, quit any applications.

H If your instrument does not display the file extensions, you need to change

your folder options to display the file extensions. (From the Control Panel,
double-click Folder Options, select the View tab, and then deselect the “Hide
file extensions for known file types” selection.)

H Use the Windows Add or Remove Programs Control Panel utility to remove

existing software.

H You will be asked to restart Windows after you install each software

package. If you do not restart Windows when prompted your software may
not install properly and can cause unpredictable behavior.

H If Windows does not restart normally, press and hold the On/Standby button

for five or six seconds to force a shutdown.
