Keysight Wireless Test Set
Y1311A Additional Solid State Drive Accessory
Installation Guide
Introduction
The Solid State Drive (SSD) of the N5186A MXG Vector Signal Generator is
removable. When the N5186A is transported out of a data-secure work
environment, the SSD is removed, to prevent user-modifiable data from being
transported along with the instrument. The removed SSD must be left behind
within the secured area.
To use the N5186A both inside and outside a given secure location, an
additional SSD is needed (to replace the SSD which was removed).

Installation Procedure
ESD Precautions
SSD Removal and Installation
Step 1. Turn the instrument off and remove the AC power cord.
Step 2. Remove the screws as shown in the illustration below. Use a T10 Torx driver if
necessary.
Step 3. Pull on the handle to unseat the SSD and remove the SSD.
Step 4. Install the new SSD by aligning the SSD PC board edges with the card guides.
Insert the SSD completely.
Step 5. Tighten the screws to no more than 9 in-lbs.
Ensure you are working at a static safe workstation before performing the
installation process described below. Review the information presented in
“Protecting Against Electrostatic Discharge” on page 7 before
beginning the installation process.

Introduction
Protecting Against Electrostatic Discharge
Protecting Against Electrostatic Discharge
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage or destroy electronic components
(the possibility of unseen damage caused by ESD is present whenever
components are transported, stored, or used).
Test equipment and ESD
— Before connecting any coaxial cable to a test set connector for the first time
each day, momentarily short the center and outer conductors of the cable
together.
— Personnel should be grounded with a 1 MΩ resistor-isolated wrist-strap
before touching the center pin of any connector and before removing any
assembly from the test set.
— Be sure that all instruments are properly earth-grounded to prevent
build-up of static charge.
Additional information about ESD
For more information about ESD and how to prevent ESD damage, contact the
Electrostatic Discharge Association:
http://www.www.esda.org
The ESD standards developed by this agency are sanctioned by the American
National Standards Institute (ANSI).
