1 Overview
E5868A and E5869A Additional Removable SSDs
The 1686x-series logic analyzers have a removable Solid State Drive (SSD)
imaged with Windows 10 operating system, Logic and Protocol Analyzer
application software, and any optional application software ordered with
the logic analyzer.
You can remove and replace this SSD with the additional removable SSD
without disassembling the logic analyzer. This guide describes how to
remove and replace the SSD.
When to Use which Removable SSD
The following two models of additional removable SSDs are available for
1686x-series logic analyzers.
E5868A E5869A
E5868A has the drive image required for 1686x-series
logic analyzers with the older M900 motherboard.
E5869A has the drive image required for 1686x-series
logic analyzers with the newer M910 motherboard.
This SSD has a lighter gray color panel with black text. This SSD has a darker gray color panel with white text.
CAUTION
To ensure that you are using the correct model of removable
SSD for your 1686x logic analyzer, match the panel color of
the additional SSD with the panel color of the SSD you are
replacing.

Overview 1
Handling the E5868A and E5869A SSDs
For the integrity of the data on your hard disk drive, Keysight
recommends that you take the precautions described in this topic
while handling and storing the hard disk drives:
• Store unused SSD in the shipping container.
• Protect the SSD from electrostatic discharge (ESD).
• Protect the SSD from physical shock.
• Protect the SSD Against Contamination of the Edge Connector
CAUTION
Electrostatic discharge can damage electronic
components. Use grounded wrist straps and mats
when handling electronic components.
CAUTION
While operating, do not expose the SSD to more
than 5 to 500 Hz at 0.3 g rms.
CAUTION
The SSD edge connector is sensitive to ESD and
mechanical or material contamination. Take
precautions to protect the edge connector from
contamination during handling and storage.

Installing the Additional Removable SSD 2
Step 1. Back up Data for Transfer to the New SSD
Before removing the existing SSD from your logic analyzer, ensure that you
back up the data such as license files which can later be transferred to the
new SSD.
1ClosetheKeysight Logic and Protocol Analyzer application software.
2 Back up data using LAN, USB flash drive, writable CDs, etc.
3 Back up license files. License files have the extension “.lic”.
Keysight recommends floating licenses for logic analyzers with
removable disks such as the 1686x-series logic analyzers.
Server License Files
If the license server is on the logic analyzer, back up the server license
files which are located in the “LicenseFiles” folder under the license
server’s installation directory. The default location is: C:\Program Files\
Keysight Technologies\LicenseServer\LicenseFiles\
Node-locked License Files
You can also use node-locked licenses. However, because the logic
analyzer host ID changes with the SSD, you must have separate
licenses on each SSD. Node-locked license files are located in the
“License” folder under the Keysight Logic and Protocol Analyzer
application’s installation directory. The default location is: C:\Program
Files\Keysight Technologies\Logic Analyzer\License\
Step 2. Power Down the 1686x Logic Analyzer
WARNING
Hazardous voltages exist on the power supply. To avoid electrical shock,
disconnect the power from the instrument before performing the
following procedures. After disconnecting the power, wait at least six
minutes for the capacitors on the power supply board to discharge
before servicing the instrument.
CAUTION
Damage can occur to electronic components if you remove or replace
assemblies when the instrument is on or when the power cable is
connected. Never attempt to remove or install any assembly with the
instrument on or with the power cable connected.

2 Installing the Additional Removable SSD
1 Power down the logic analyzer system using one of the methods
explained below.
•Using the Windows Shutdown - On the logic analyzer desktop, click
Start > Shut Down or if you are running remote desktop, click Start >
Settings > Windows Security > Shut Down.
•Using a Short Press of the Power Button - Press the power button
on the logic analyzer for a short time (less than 2 seconds).
•Using a Long Press of the Power Button - Press the power button for
more than 4 seconds. This powers down the system abruptly. Use
this method only when other methods have not responded because
Any data that has not been written to the disk will be lost. Also, if the
system does not boot, the hard disk drive will need to be re-imaged.
2 Remove the power cord.
Step 3. Remove the Currently Installed SSD
1 Loosen both thumb screws that hold the hard disk drive in place.

2 Installing the Additional Removable SSD
3 Tighten both thumb screws to hold the hard disk drive in place.
Step 5. Power on the 1686x Logic Analyzer
Turn on the logic analyzer.
Step 6. Perform the first-time Setup Steps
If you are using the replacement SSD as an additional bootable drive, the
replacement disk is pre-configured with the Windows 10 operating
system, frame drivers, and Logic and Protocol Analyzer software (just like
the original 1686x SSD as shipped from the factory).
The next step is to perform the first-time setup procedures described in
the 16860-Series Logic Analyzers Installation Guide shipped with the
16860 logic analyzer.
Step 7. Restore Data
Restore the data and license files you backed up in “Step 1. Back up Data for
Transfer to the New SSD" on page 11.
Step 8. Install any Additional Application Software
Resolve any Issues with the Installation
