Introduction
Welcome to the Hewlett-Packard LogicAnalysis Systems. The HP
16500N1650lA has been designed to be the easiest system to use, ever.
Its modular mainframe allows you to confIgure the HP 16500N1650lA
with just the modules you want.
This manual explains how to prepare the HP 16500N1650lA Logic
Analysis System for operation. It instructs the user on inspection and
preparation procedures, provides step-by-step instructions for setting
up the instruments, and provides additional information about
cleaning, storing, and shipping the system.
After you have read this manual and unpacked, inspected, and begun
operating the instrument, your next step depends on your own needs.
If you are a fIrst-time user, you should read the two "Feeling
Comfortable" books included with the HP 16500N1650lA. If you are
familiar with logic analyzers and digitizing oscilloscopes, you maywant
to read the Getting Started Guide for each module or go directly to the
HP 16500A/1650lA Reference Manual and similiar module reference
manuals, depending on your knowledge, background, and comfort level.

Setting Up the System
The complete operatingenvironment specifications are listed in the HP
16500A/1650lA Reference Manual. You should note the
non-condensing humidity limitation. Condensationwithin the
instrument
can cause poor operation or malfunction.
The HP 16500N16SOlA will operate to all specifications, within the
following temperature and humidity range:
Hardware:
Temperature: 0 to 55 degrees C (32 to 131 degrees F)
Humidity: Up to 95% relative humidity at 40 degrees C ( 104 degrees
F) (non-condensing)
Disk Drive and Media:
Temperature: 10 to 40 degrees C (SO to 104 degrees F)
Humidity: 8% to 80% relative humidity
Avoid high temperaturelhumidity combinations
and protect the
instrument against internal condensation.
You must provide an unrestricted airflow for the fan and ventilation
openings in
the rear and side panels of the HP 16500A /1650lA. .
However, you maystack the HP 16500A and the HP 16SOlA under or
over other instruments as long as the surfaces of the other instruments
aren't needed for theirventilation. For more information on the
ventilation requirements refer to AppendixA of the HP
16500A/1650lA Reference Manual.
The HP 16500A and the HP 16SOlA require a power source of either
115
or 230 VAC, -22% to +10%, single phase, 48 to 66 Hz. The HP
16500A requires 475 watts maximum. The HP 16SOlA requires 420
watts maximum.

The Yellow
Shipping Disks Remove the yellow shipping disks from both the front
and rear disk
drives byunlocking the shipping disk and pressing the button
on the
individual disk drives until the yellow shipping disk
pops out. These
disks help protect the disk drives during shipping and should be saved
for later transportation
of the HP 16500A.
.m_ Failure to remove the yellow shipping disks from either disk drive

Checking for
the Correct
Fuse
To check the fuse on the rear pane~ push in gently and turn the top of
the fuse holder counter-clockwise about one quarter ofa turn until the
top pops out. Remove the fuse and check the value that
is marked on
it. The correct value for each line selection
is printed on the top ofthe
power supply (under the top cover) and in the
HP 16500A/1650lA
Service Manual.
To install the fuse, put the top of the fuse holder on the fuse and gently
push the fuse into the holder on the rear panel.
Turn it clockwise until
it seats itselfand then push in gently and turn it about one quarter
of a
turn.
~ To avoid a potential shock hazard, always make sure the
Warning TI Instrument is turned off and unplugged before checking the
fuse.

Setting Up the System
Onceyou have prepared the HP 16500N1650lAfor operation, as
discussed in Chapter 1, you are readyto turn on the instrument. In this
chapter you will learn how to install the operating system disk, connect
any optional accessories you have, and turn on the instrument. This
chapter also describes the steps the HP 16500N1650lAcompletes
during power-up. Finally, you will learn how to adjust the brightness,
background, and tilt stand and how to use each of the four available
user interfaces.
The HP 16500N1650lA operating system disk contains a set of
programs that controls the operation of the instrument. The operating
systems are on 3.5 inch disks that you can install into either the front or
rear disk drive. Typically, Disk 1is installed in the rear disk drive. and
Disk2 (if supplied) is installed in the front disk drive. To install the
operating system disk follow these steps:
1. Hold the disk labeled "FactoryConfigured Software for HP
16500ALogic Analysis System (Disk 1)" so that the label is on
top and the metal auto-shutter is away from you.
2. Push the disk gently, but firmly, into the rear disk drive until it
clicks into place.
If the FactoryConfigured Software for HP 16500A Logic Analysis
System is on two disks, install one disk in each disk drive.
