Preface
This manual contains information needed to install your Tektronix logic analyzer
and related accessories.
To prevent personal injury or damage, consider the following requirements before
starting service:
The procedures in this manual should be performed only by qualified service
personnel.
Read the General Safety Summary and Service Safety Summary found at
the beginning of this manual.
Be sure to follow all warnings, cautions, and notes in this manual.
TLA7000 Series Logic Analyzers
The TLA7000 Series Logic Analyzers consist of a 2-module portable mainframe
(TLA7012) and a 6-module benchtop mainframe (TLA7016).
The TL708EX TekLink 8-Port Hub and a local area network (LAN) gigabit (Gb)
switch expand the system and connect it to your network. You can also load
the application software on your PC.
The logic analyzers are built on the Microsoft Windows operating system, which
allows you to install PC-compatible, third-party hardware and software on the
instrument.
The user interface operates under the Microsoft Windows operating system.
Microsoft recommends the following to ensure your instrument is protected:
Use an Internet firewall.
Install operating system updates regularly.
Use up-to-date antivirus software.
The TLA7000 series logic analyzers combine high-performance logic analyzer
modules with optional application modules or an external Tektronix oscilloscope.

Basic installation
This chapter describes all of the steps needed to install your Tektronix logic
analyzer and its related accessories. It is written from the perspective that you
purchased most of the items uninstalled and you intend to install all of the pieces.
If you purchased a logic analyzer with modules already installed, you should still
review this chapter and perform the steps that apply to your situation.
Check the Shipping list
Verify that you have received all of the parts of your logic analyzer using the
shipping list and the accessories list. (See page 81, Accessories.) Also check
for the following:
Power cords are correct for your geographical area
Correct probes and modules
Standard accessories
All optional accessories that you ordered
CAUTION. This notice applies only to the TLA7016 Benchtop Mainframe with
OptionA6. (SeeTable17onpage83.)
A special high-current power cord set is provided and is for use exclusively with
this product.

CAUTION. Allow a 15.3 cm (6-in) clearance at the top, back, and sides of the
instrument to ensure proper cooling. Avoid blocking any exhaust fans or vents
when using the instrument on a cart or in a rackmount. Inadequate clearances
can cause the instrument to overheat and shut down.
Portable mainframe site
considerations
You can use the portable mainframe on a bench or on a cart in the normal position
(on the bottom feet). The front feet extend to give a better view of the instrument
display. You can also mount the mainframe in an instrument rack.
