While Keysight does recommend that a full calibration be performed after the installation of this

upgrade, the end user must ultimately determine whether they want this service or not. If a full

calibration is required, arrangements regarding the level of calibration must be made between the

end user and the calibration provider.

Introduction

This kit includes parts to upgrade older EXA or MXA signal analyzers with Option 507, 508, 513, or

526 to add Options B40, 40 MHz analysis bandwidth, and MPB, microwave preselector bypass. As a

result, some parts included in this kit will not be needed for upgrading some analyzers (newer

analyzers require fewer parts to be changed). Also, some parts might not be necessary if other

certain options are already installed. As a result, some of the procedures, such as Replace A13A1

Bandpass Filter, might not need to be performed.

In addition to installing the hardware to support options B40 and MPB, licenses for the following

options will also be installed (the 'x' is either 1 for EXA or 2 for MXA):

— N90x0A-B40, 40 MHz Analysis Bandwidth

— N90x0A-B25, 25 MHz Analysis Bandwidth

— N9020A-S40, 40 MHz/Channel Baseband Bandwidth (for use with Option BBA, if also installed;

only included with N9020AK-HL4)

— N90x0A-DP2, Digital Processor & 2 GB Capture Memory

— N90x0A-RTL, Real Time Link

— N90x0A-FS1, Fast Sweep Capability, enabled with B40, DP2, or MPB

— N90x0A-MPB, Microwave Preselector Bypass

— N9060A-3FP, Amplitude Correction and Limit Lines

— N9060A-4FP, TOI and Harmonics

— N9060A-5FP, ACP 18 Carrier Measurement

— N9060A-6FP, TV Trigger and IQ Analyzer Enhancement

The installation procedure begins with an “inventory” of the analyzer serial number,

currently-installed options, installed hardware, and software version. This information will be used

to determine which sub-procedures, if any, can be skipped.

Initial Instrument Functionality Check

Power on the instrument and allow the instrument to boot up. Run an alignment and display the

measurement screen. (The instrument will probably display a spectrum analyzer screen and you will

see the instrument sweeping.)

There should be no alignment failures. If there are failures, investigate and fix the problem before

continuing.

Before you disassemble the instrument, turn the power switch to Standby. After the instrument

has completely shut down, unplug the instrument. Failure to unplug the instrument can result in

personal injury.

Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage or destroy electronic components. All work on

electronic assemblies should be performed at a static-safe workstation. Refer to the

documentation that pertains to your instrument for information about static-safe workstations

and ordering static-safe accessories.

Installation Procedure

Analyzer Information

1. Connect a power cord to the analyzer and turn on the analyzer.

2. After the analyzer has completed turning on, press System, Show, System. Make note of the

following information from the Show System screen:

Product Number ________________

Serial Number ________________

Instrument S/W Revision ________________

3. Check for the presence of the options listed below in the Show System screen (“x” is 1 for an

EXA and 2 for an MXA). Put a check mark or “X” after each option listed below that appears in

the Show System menu.

N90x0A-503 ______

N9010A-532 ______

N9010A-544 ______

N90x0A-B25 ______

N90x0A-BBA ______

N90x0A-CR3 ______

N90x0A-CRP ______

N90x0A-B40 ______

N90x0A-DP2 ______

N90x0A-MPB ______

4. On the analyzer, press System, Show, Hardware. Note the Part #, Matl Rev, Rev, OF Rev, and

Hw Id of the Front End Controller and Front End in the table below.

5. If the analyzer is equipped with any of the following options (refer to the data in step 3 above),

N90x0A-B40

N90x0A-DP2

N90x0A-MPB

Do not proceed with the installation of this upgrade kit. If any of these options are already

installed, you do not need this upgrade kit, since the necessary hardware is already present.

Installation Procedure

6. Refer to the data in step 3 above. If the analyzer has N90x0A-503, N9010A-532, or

N9010A-544 do not proceed with the installation of this kit. This kit can only be installed in

analyzers with frequency range options 507, 508, 513, and 526.

7. Refer to the data in step 2 above. If the analyzer is an N9010A and the serial number is

≥MY/SG/US56480000 do not proceed with the installation of this kit, This kit is only for older

N9010A and N9020A analyzers.

8. Refer to the data in step 2 above. If the analyzer is an N9020A and the serial number is

≥MY/SG/US52330000 do not proceed with the installation of this kit, This kit is only for older

N9010A and N9020A analyzers.

9. Refer to the data in step 2 above. If the Instrument S/W Revision is earlier than A.10.05, you

must upgrade the instrument software. The hardware and licenses being added with this

upgrade are only supported by software revisions A.10.05 and later.

Even if the Instrument S/W Revision is A.10.05 or later, we recommend upgrading to the latest

software revision to ensure that you get the benefit of any defect fixes that have been made

since A.10.05.

The latest instrument software can be downloaded from the following web site:

http://www.keysight.com/find/xseries_software

10.Refer to the data in step 4 above. If the Front End has a Hw Id of 70, it already has the 150 MHz

wide 1st IF bandpass filter and you do not need to perform the Replace A13A1 Bandpass Filter

procedure.

11.Refer to the data in step 3 and step 4 above. If the analyzer has N90x0A-CR3 and/or

N90x0A-CRP installed, verify that it also has a Front End Controller with Hw Id of 41 or 75. If

the Front End Controller has a Hw ID of 41 or 75, you do not need to perform the Replace Front

End Controller procedure.

10 Installation Note N9010-90054

Installation Procedure

Update Instrument Software

If the analyzer does not have instrument software that supports the new hardware, many errors will

occur onscreen when the analyzer boots up. Updating the instrument software and installing the

necessary licenses before installing the new hardware will help ensure that the hardware

installation was successful.

Go to the following website and determine whether or not the analyzer has the latest instrument

software already installed:

http://www.keysight.com/find/xseries_software

If the analyzer does not have the latest instrument software already installed, download and install

the latest version.
