Preventing PNA Hard Drive Problems
Previously, the leading cause of PNA failures was problems with the PNA Hard
Disk Drive (HDD). Most of these problems were solved when Keysight replaced
the HDD with a solid state drive (SSD) in late 2010.
Follow the suggestions below to prevent problems with your PNA SSD.
Observe Proper Shutdown Procedures
See previous pages.
Do NOT Modify or Reconfigure the Operating System
The Microsoft Windows operating system has been modified and optimized by
Keysight to improve the performance of the PNA.
— Do NOT install a standard version of the Windows operating system on the
PNA.
— Do NOT change advanced performance settings or group policies.
— Do NOT add or delete any SSD partitions on the PNA.
— Do NOT delete the Keysight user account unless in a secured environment.
— Do NOT modify any of the Keysight software registry entries.
Install Antivirus and Firewall Protection
No antivirus software is shipped with the analyzer. It is recommended that you
install antivirus software if your analyzer is connected to the LAN. Check with
your IT department to see what they recommend.
The analyzer is shipped with the Windows firewall and Windows Defender
enabled.
Do not modify the default network settings as this may cause problems with
the operating system of the analyzer.
To adjust Windows Defender settings, log in as administrator (refer to
http://na.support.keysight.com/vna/help/latest/help.htm
) and minimize the
PNA-Series Application and click on the Start button and type: defender
Then click on Windows Defender from the Best match column.
