Specifications
Product Description
This chapter provides a general description of the Benchtop Chassis and a list of
specifications under Characteristics Tables beginning on page 1–3.
The Benchtop Chassis is designed to be used as part of a TLA 700 Series Logic
Analyzer. It is an intelligent, 13-slot chassis with the following features:
HHigh output power supply
HIntelligent cooling for installed modules
HHigh quality auto-configurable backplane
HOptional adjustable rackmounts
Standard features are explained in more detail in the following paragraphs. Refer
to the Options chapter for a description of optional features.
Power Supply
Intelligent Cooling
The Benchtop Chassis provides voltages at levels sufficient for the most
demanding TLA 700 Series applications. The power supply has a volt-ampere
capacity of 1660 VA with 872 watts usable by TLA 700 Series instrument
modules at any one time. The chassis accommodates exclusively digital
applications (using the logic analyzer module), exclusively analog applications
(using the DSO module), or combinations of both.
The power supply plugs directly into the rear of the chassis and has no cables to
disconnect. Because of this design, you can replace the power supply in less than
three minutes, keeping downtime to a minimum. The power supply automatically accommodates the appropriate input voltage and frequency; no mechanical
switch is required to select the correct line voltage.
The Benchtop Chassis provides optimal cooling for all installed modules. The
chassis uses an intelligent, adaptive cooling scheme to efficiently remove heat
while maintaining quiet operation. When you set the blower to variable speed
(default), the chassis automatically adjusts the blower speed to keep the
temperature rise above the modules to approximately 10° C, or less. Using a rear
panel switch, you can set the blower to full speed to provide maximum cooling
at all times.
TLA711 Benchtop Chassis Service Manual
1–1
Specifications
Air is exhausted at the sides of the chassis allowing you to stack the chassis with
other rackmount equipment. You don’t have to to worry about restricting any
airflow out of the top of the chassis or creating a chimney effect.
Cooling is not wasted on empty slots. Card guides automatically direct air to
only those slots containing modules; empty slots are shut off. The chassis directs
airflow across each installed module from the bottom to the top of each slot.
Baffles balance the airflow from the front to back and across occupied slots in
the chassis.
You can replace the blower without disassembling the entire chassis.
Backplane
The Benchtop Chassis has an autoconfigurable, solid-state backplane that uses
electronic jumpering of the IACK and BUS GRANT signal lines. There are no
jumpers to move or install on the backplane. This results in a high quality
backplane that is ideal for automatic test environment systems that must be
reconfigured frequently.
Full differential distribution of the CLK10 signals provide a clean timing source
for your TLA 700 Series instruments.

When you install a module with a front panel, shutters on the bottom of each slot
automatically open to provide cooling for the installed modules. The shutters
remain closed for empty slots so that airflow is directed only where it is needed.
On/Standby Switch
The On/Standby switch on the top-left corner of the front panel applies DC
voltages to the chassis. The switch is a momentary contact switch. The switch is
lighted when DC voltages are applied to the chassis. You can also remotely
control the chassis.
You can configure your chassis to bypass the On/Standby switch. (Refer to
Remote Power Switch Configuration on page 6–20 of the Maintenance chapter
for information on configuring the power switch.) In this configuration, the
On/Standby switch remains lighted while power is applied, but the switch itself
no longer controls the chassis.
AC Power Connector
The AC power connector is located on the bottom left side on the rear of the
chassis. The AC fuse holder is located just above the power connector.

Operating Information
Chassis Ground Screw
The chassis ground screw (if installed) can be used to connect more than one
chassis to a common ground point.
Fan Speed Switch
The Fan Speed switch controls the speed of the system cooling fan. When the
switch is set to the VAR (variable) position, the chassis automatically controls
the speed of the fan depending on the air temperature and amount of cooling
required by the modules. When the switch is in the FULL position, the fans
operate at full speed.
Selecting the Correct Power Cord and Fuse
The Benchtop Chassis comes standard with two power cords and three fuses.
Before installing the chassis, you must determine the correct fuse and power cord
for your application. Use the following information to determine the appropriate
power cord and line fuse. This information is important to avoid overloading the
power distribution system and to comply with the National Electrical Code.
For card cage loads in the nonshaded region of Figure 2–3, use the power cord
with the 15 A plug (Tektronix part number 161-0213-XX) or the power cord
with the 20 A plug (Tektronix part number 161-0218-XX). For high card cage
loads combined with low input line voltages (shaded region), use only the power
cord with the 20 A plug.
Select the proper fuse based on the ranges shown in Figure 2–3.

Theory of Operation
This section provides a brief overview of the theory of operation for the
Benchtop Chassis. Figure 3–1 shows a functional block diagram of the major
components.
Standard Chassis
The standard chassis contains the following major components:
The power supply provides all voltages and currents to the chassis. The power
supply connects to the backplane at J1 and J2 through the Power Supply
Interface board.
The backplane (A4) provides all the connections to module slots 0 through 12 in
the chassis. It also has connections to all other circuit boards and modules in the
chassis.
The front panel On/Standby DC switch connects to one of two connectors at the
top of the backplane. When the switch is connected to J22, the switch controls
the power in the chassis. When the switch is connected to J23, the power-on
functions are controlled by an external source through the 25-pin connector on
the Monitor board. Although the switch still illuminates when power is applied
to the chassis, the on/off function of the switch is disabled. (Refer to RemotePower Switch Configuration on page 6–20.)
The backplane connects to the Power Supply Interface board at J20 and J21. A
34-wide ribbon cable at 0J4 on the backplane connects to J16 on the Temperature
Sense board. Connectors 0J1, 0J2, and 0P3 carry instrument monitoring
information from the backplane to the Monitor board.
The Monitor board (A3) collects the monitoring information from the power
supply, blower, and Temperature Sense board and passes the information to the
25-pin D connector. The Monitor board connects directly to the backplane at 0J3,
0P1 and 0P2.
The 25-pin D Passive Monitor Connector lets you monitor the power supply
voltages, blower speed, and the maximum slot temperature rise within the
chassis. The connector also provides remote on and off capability and access to
the SYSRESET* and ACFAIL* signals. Figure 3–2 shows the pinouts of the
Passive Monitor Connector. Table 3–1 describes each of the pins and its
function.
WARNING. Do not connect an RS-232 cable to the 25-pin connector. The
connector is not an RS-232 connector. Connecting an RS-232 cable to the
connector can result in damage to the equipment.
The blower connects to the Monitor board at J7 (Fan2) and J8 (Fan1). The Fan
Speed switch (S1) lets you select either variable fan speed (VAR) or full speed
(FULL).
The Temperature Sense board (A2) monitors the temperatures for each slot
within the chassis. The Temperature Sense board connects to the backplane
through the ribbon cable at J16.

Inspection and Cleaning
Maintenance
The chassis is inspected mechanically and electrically before shipment. It should
be free of marks or scratches and should meet or exceed all electrical specifications. To confirm this, inspect the chassis for physical damage incurred during
transit. Retain the chassis packaging in case shipment for repair is necessary. If
there is damage or deficiency, contact your local Tektronix representative.
Cleaning procedures consist of exterior and interior cleaning of the chassis and
cleaning the fan filter. Periodic cleaning reduces instrument breakdown and
increases reliability. Clean the chassis as needed, based on the operating
environment. Refer to your module documentation for information on cleaning
the individual TLA 700 Series modules.
Interior Cleaning
Exterior Cleaning
Use a dry, low-velocity stream of air to clean the interior of the chassis. Use a
soft-bristle brush for cleaning around components. If you must use a liquid for
minor interior cleaning, use a 75% isopropyl alcohol solution and rinse with
deionized water.
Clean the exterior surfaces of the chassis with a dry lint-free cloth or a softbristle brush. If any dirt remains, use a cloth or swab dipped in a 75% isopropyl
alcohol solution. Use a swab to clean narrow spaces around controls and
connectors. Do not use abrasive compounds on any part of the chassis.
CAUTION. Avoid getting moisture inside the chassis during exterior cleaning; use
just enough moisture to dampen the cloth or swab.
Do not wash the front-panel On/Standby switch. Cover the switch while washing
the chassis.
Use only deionized water when cleaning. Use a 75% isopropyl alcohol solution
as a cleanser and rinse with deionized water.
Do not use chemical cleaning agents; they may damage the chassis. Avoid
chemicals that contain benzene, toluene, xylene, acetone, or similar solvents.

Special Configuration Options
This section contains information for configuring your Benchtop Chassis for
specific situations not documented earlier in this manual. These special
configuration options require you to disassemble parts of the chassis to access
jumpers or circuit boards. Refer to the Maintenance chapter for detailed
information on the assembly and disassembly procedures. You may also need to
refer to the exploded views in Mechanical Parts List.
The information in this section is intended for use by qualified service personnel.
Read the Safety Summary at the front of this manual and the static precautions on
page 6–2 before attempting any procedures in this appendix. Refer to OperatingInformation for information on the location of controls, indicators, and connectors used with the chassis.
CAUTION. To avoid damage from high currents on the backplane, always power
off the chassis and disconnect the power cord before performing any of the
configuration procedures described in this section.
Remote Power Switch
Configuration
You can control the power-on function of the chassis using the front panel
On/Standby switch and from a remote momentary switch through the connections of the 25-pin rear panel connector. If you connect a remote switch to
pins 5 and 18 (return side) of the 25-pin connector, the remote switch and the
front-panel On/Standby switch control the power-on functions of the chassis.
You can also disable the front-panel switch and control the power-on functions
from the remote switch only. The backplane has two connectors that control the
power-on functions. If the front panel switch is connected to the backplane at
J22, the switch controls the power-on functions. If the switch is connected to
J23, the front panel switch is disabled, however, the light still illuminates when
the chassis is powered on. To configure the chassis to disable the front panel
