The Exit Main Firmware key is used during the firmware installation process. This key is only for use when you want to update core firmware using a LAN connection. The Exit Main Firmware key halts the operation of the instrument firmware so you can install an updated version of firmware using a LAN connection. Instructions for loading future firmware updates are available at the following URL: www.agilent.com/find/vsa/

To install a license key number for the selected option, use the following procedure.

You can also use this to reinstall a license key number that has been deleted during an uninstall process, or lost due to a memory failure.

1.Press System, Install, Choose Option. The Choose Option key accesses the alpha editor menu. Use the alpha editor to enter letters (upper-case) and the front-panel numeric keys to enter numbers for the option designation. Then press the Done key. As you enter the option, you will see your entry in the active function area of the display.

You must already have entered the license key for the GSM option BAH before you can enter the license key for the EDGE retrofit option 252.

2.Press License Key. Enter the letters/digits of your license key. You will see your entry in the active function area of the display. When you have completed entering the license key number, press the

Donekey.

3.Press the Install Now key.

The message “ New option keys become active after reboot.” will appear. If you want to proceed with the installation, press the Yes key and cycle the instrument power off and then on. Press the No key if you wish to cancel the installation process.
