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:
H Must have the Windows operating system resident.
H Must be the boot drive.
H Must have the TLA application software resident.
H Must not have a slave jumper installed.
H Can be the fixed or replaceable hard disk drive.
The slave hard disk drive:
H Must not have an operating system resident.
H Cannot be a bootable drive.
H May not have the TLA application software loaded on it.
H Must have a slave jumper installed.
H Can 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:
H Move the files to another PC via a network or via another backup medium
such as a ZIP drive.
H Place 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
Suffix Description
.tla TLA setup files and stored data
.tsf TLA symbol files
.tbf Tektronix binary format
.tls TLA script file
.tpg Tektronix pattern generator files
.txt Tektronix TLA data exchange format files
.stk Stack files
.spz Protocol 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.

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 may 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.
