TLA7UP Logic Analyzer Field Upgrade Kit Instruction Manual
Preface
This instruction manual contains specific information about the TLA7UP
mainframe field upgrades. The mainframe field upgrades consist of software and
hardware options for the TLA700 series logic analyzer.
Products Eligible for TLA7UP Upgrades
Table i lists all of the TLA700 series logic analyzers eligible for upgrades via the
TLA7UP field upgrade kits. Review Table i to determine if your logic analyzer is
eligible for an upgrade and then use Table ii on page xii to determine the
upgrades available for your TLA715 or TLA721 logic analyzers.
Table i: TLA700 Series logic analyzers eligible for upgrades
NOTE. TLA704, TLA714, TLA711, and TLA720 logic analyzers are not eligible
for upgrades. However these instruments still qualify for Mainframe Trade-in
program. Contact your local Tektronix representative for details on the program.
Logic analyzer modules installed in these mainframes, are eligible for upgrades.
The TLA7UP upgrade kits are designed for one TLA7UP upgrade kit per TLA
mainframe. If you want to upgrade multiple mainframes, you must order one
TLA7UP upgrade kit with the appropriate options for each mainframe.
The latest TLA Application Software has been tested and can be installed and
will be supported by Tektronix only on the Tektronix-supplied version of
Microsoft Windows XP Professional.
If you need to preserve your user files on your current mainframe hard disk,
please order an additional hard disk drive using TLA7UP Option 12 and install it
as a second internal hard disk drive in your mainframe. This procedure is
included in this document. You can also save your user files to another media.

These instructions assume that you are familiar with servicing the instrument. If
you need further details for disassembling or reassembling the instrument, refer
to either the TLA715 Portable Mainframe Service Manual (071-0913-xx) or the
TLA721 Benchtop & TLA7XM Expansion Mainframe Service Manual
(071-0912-xx). You may also contact your nearest Tektronix, Inc., Service Center
or Tektronix Factory Service Center for installation assistance.
When you install the hard disk drive, you can use the replaceable hard disk drive
as a spare or you can discard the replaceable hard disk cartridge and install the
hard disk as a second hard disk drive in the controller.
Be sure to observe the following precautions to avoid damaging the mainframe
while preparing to service it.
1--2
CAUTION. Many components within the mainframe are susceptible to staticdischarge 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.
TLA7UP Logic Analyzer Field Upgrade Kit Instruction Manual
TLA7UP Option 12: TLA715 & TLA721 MAX HDD and MAX DRAM Installation
WARNING. Dangerous voltages may be present. Before performing any procedure
in this section, disconnect the power cord from the line voltage source. Failure to
do so could cause serious injury or death.
HDo not handle static-sensitive components on boards.
HTransport and store static-sensitive boards in their original containers or
on conductive foam. Label any package that contains static-sensitive
assemblies.
HWear an anti static wrist strap while handling the boards to discharge the
static voltage from your body.
HDo not allow anything capable of holding or generating a static charge on the
work surface.
HAvoid handling boards in areas that have a floor or work surface cover that is
capable of generating a static charge.
Mainframe-Specific Instructions
If you are updating your benchtop mainframe, refer to MAX Hard Disk Drive
Installation on page 1--5, and Benchtop Mainframe-Specific Update Instructions
on page 1--11 for update instructions. If you are updating your portable mainframe, refer to MAX Hard Disk Drive Installation on page 1--5, and PortableMainframe-Specific Update Instructions on page 1--15 for update instructions.

TLA7UP Option 12: MAX Hard Disk Drive Installation
The following instructions direct you through the preliminary stages of installing
a fixed (second) MAX hard disk drive on either a portable mainframe or on a
benchtop mainframe. Because mainframe disassembly instructions differ
substantially between the portable and benchtop mainframes, details are tailored
to each instrument and are individually addressed in subsections to follow.
Master/Slave Drive Decision
At this point you need to decide where you would like the master hard disk drive
to be, and where you would like the slave hard disk drive to be. The following
guidelines may help you in your decision:
Master Hard Disk Drive
Slave Hard Disk Drive
The master hard disk drive:
HMust have the Windows operating system resident.
HMust be the boot drive.
HMust have the TLA application software resident.
HMust not have a slave jumper installed.
HCan be the fixed or replaceable hard disk drive.
The slave hard disk drive:
HMust not have an operating system resident.
HCannot be a bootable drive.
HMay not have the TLA application software loaded on it.
HMust have a slave jumper installed.
HCan be the fixed or replaceable hard disk drive.
NOTE. If the slave hard disk drive is the replaceable hard disk drive, it does not
need to be installed to use the instrument.
TLA7UP Logic Analyzer Field Upgrade Kit Instruction Manual
1--5
TLA7UP Option 12: MAX Hard Disk Drive Installation
Back Up Your Software
Before installing the new hard disk, make sure that you back up any files,
applications, and personal documents to an external storage device. You can do
this in one of several different ways:
HMove the files to another PC via a network or via another backup medium
such as a ZIP drive.
HPlace the new hard disk drive in the removeable hard disk drive assembly
(master configuration), and then place the original hard disk drive in the
second hard disk location (slave configuration). This allows you to use a
second hard disk drive so you can still access the user files.
For TLA715 logic analyzers, the second fixed hard disk drive location is
behind the front panel; For TLA721 logic analyzers, the hard disk drive
plugs into a connector on an internal circuit board in the slot 0 controller.
You can find most TLA user files using the Windows Find utility. For example,
open Windows Explorer and select the C:\My Documents folder. Right click the
folder and select Find. Enter one of the suffixes from Table 1--3 to locate the
TLA files in the current folder and all subfolders:
Table 1--3: TLA user file suffixes
SuffixDescription
.tlaTLA setup files and stored data
.tsfTLA symbol files
.tbfTektronix binary format
.tlsTLA script file
.tpgTektronix pattern generator files
.txtTektronix TLA data exchange format files
.stkStack files
.spzProtocol files
Once you find the files, copy or drag them to the external storage device. Use this
procedure to find any files or applications that you may want to save.
If you purchased any microprocessor support packages, you will need to reinstall
them after you reinstall the hard disk image. If you do not have a copy of the
microprocessor support software, contract your Tektronix Account Manager to
order a replacement copy. If you cannot contact the account manager, contact the
Tektronix Support Center.

TLA7UP Logic Analyzer Field Upgrade Kit Instruction Manual
Set Up The Slave Hard Disk Drive
Decide which hard disk drive you want to be the slave hard disk drive. If you
want the replaceable hard disk drive to be the slave, you will need to add a slave
jumper. If you want the fixed hard disk drive to be the slave, you will need to
remove that hard disk drive from the replaceable cartridge and add a slave
jumper.
To set up the hard disk drive as a slave drive, follow these instructions:
1. Determine which hard disk drive you want to be the slave drive.
2. Locate the shorting jumper that you received with this kit.
3. Remove the four #1 Phillips screws from the replaceable hard disk drive
cartridge.
4. Lift the hard disk drive from the cartridge:
a. If the slave hard disk drive is to be the replaceable hard disk drive, do not
remove the cable.
TLA7UP Option 12: MAX Hard Disk Drive Installation
b. If the slave hard disk drive is to be the fixed hard disk drive, remove the
cable and set the replaceable cartridge aside.
5. To designate the hard disk drive as a slave drive, you will need to install a
shorting jumper. Refer to the label on the hard disk drive for the correct
