Introduction
Introduction
This section explains how to upgrade the E5022A/B (600 M / 750 M / 1 Gbps) to E5023A
(1.5 Gbps) or the E5023A (1.5 Gbps) to the E5023A (2.6 Gbps).
The upgrade procedure is shown below.
Step 1. Check the E8491A serial number. If required, modify it in accordance with the service
note.
See “Step 1: Checking the E8491A serial number” on page 11 for details.
Step 2. Install the backplane connectors into the VXI mainframe.
See “Step 2: Installing the Backplane Connector” on page 13 for details.
Step 3. Install the modules into the VXI mainframe and place the E5043A/C and E5029K on the
spinstand.
See “Step 3: Installing new Components for E5023A” on page 14 for details.
Step 4. Connect the cables.
See “Step 4: Connecting Cables” on page 15 for details.
Step 5. Uninstall the old E5022/E5023 system software from the PC.
See “Step 5: Uninstalling the E5022A/B System Software from your PC” on page 24 for
details.
Step 6. Install the appropriate E5022/E5023 system software.
See “Step 6: Installing the E5022/23 System Software into your PC” on page 24 for details.
Step 7. Install the compensation factor.
See “Step 7: Installing the Compensation Factor” on page 24 for details.
Step 8. Put the Upgrade Model label on the VXI Mainframe.
See “Step 8: Put the Upgrade Model Label on the VXI Mainframe” on page 25 for details.

Upgrade Procedure
Step 1: Checking the E8491A serial number
If the serial number of the E8491A IEEE-1394 PC Link to VXI is US39000231 and below,
the modification is required.
Open the side cover of the E8491 and remove clamping diodes CR401, CR402,
CR403 and CR404 using a soldering iron.
See the service note E8491-01 in the next page.

SERVICE NOTE
E8491A IEEE-1394 PC Link to VXI, C-Size
E8491-66501 PC Assembly - PC/VXI Interconnect
Serial Numbers: US39000231 and below
Clock and sync signals fail when using VXI backplane ECL trigger
lines.
To Be Performed By: Customer or Agilent Personnel
Parts Required: None
Situation:
In multi-module systems, the clock and sync signals can be distributed between modules
using the ECLTRG lines on the VXI backplane. This works as long as all modules are
designed according to the current VXI specification. Unfortunately, the E8491A circuit
design had clamping diodes on the ECL Trigger lines. These diodes corrupt the ECLTRG
waveform causing commiunication failures between VXI modules.
Solution / Action:
Remove clamping diodes CR401, CR402, CR403 and CR404.

Upgrade Procedure
Step 3: Installing new Components for E5023A
Step 3: Installing new Components for E5023A
Install the Modules in the VXI mainframe.
Exchange the old modules with the new modules. The old modules are no longer
necessary.
Place the E5043A/C and E5029K on the Spinstand
The E5043A is used to upgrade the old system to the E5023A Option 415 (1.5 Gbps),
while the E5043C is used to upgrade the old system to the E5023A Option 426 (2.6 Gbps).
See the spinstand installation manual since the location of these units depend on the type of
spinstand.
NOTE When you install the E5043C Head Amplifier Control Unit (main unit) on the Agilent
spinstand cover for the E5010C, you should fix the angle (bracket) with the four M3 screws
(p/n 0515-0372) and four washers (p/n 3050-0893). When you install the E5043C Head
Amplifier Control Unit (main unit) on the Agilent spinstand cover for the E5013A, you
should fix the angle (bracket) with the four M4 screws (p/n 0515-0380) (the washers are
not used). The screws and washers are included in the upgrade kit.
