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.
