content: I recently picked up a 16702B. I also picked up a SCSI2SD to replace the mechanical hard drive. I'm looking for an Ignite installation CD (or image that can be used to create a bootable CD) to reinstall on the flash drive. Can anyone help? Thanks!I found this on the HP/Agilent Test Equipment Yahoo group:https://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/hp_agilent_equipment/conversations/topics/69520There is an image available from Keysight, but it doesn't appear to be bootable. Also, there no /X11/X11-RUN-CTRB as expected by these instructions to unlock HPUX:http://www.perdrix.co.uk/hp16700/so it might not be the right thing anyway.

content: CD can be ordered directly from HP/Agilent homepage. You need to search a little bit for that page, but it existsThen simply insert CD into drive, make the LA boot from CD and follow the instructions.

I posted about this on the Keysight forums and they provided me this link:ftp://ftp.keysight.com/cos/outbound/16700/16700_A0290.isoBut, it doesn't appear to be the correct CD image.Thanks in advance!

content: I have two .iso files, the line linked above, 16700_A0290.iso (which I didn't use) and HP16702-LA.iso, which worked to reinstall my 16702b. They have identical contents, but the .iso files themselves are different sizes (and maybe boot sectors?) Here is a link to HP16702-LA.iso:https://www.dropbox.com/s/cb6t5ewczmxxnwe/HP16702-LA.iso?dl=0Keysight replied to my inquiry, but they don't send out CDs anymore since the 16702b is no longer supported.I replaced the SCSI hard drive with a SCSI2SD broad:http://www.codesrc.com/mediawiki/index.php?title=SCSI2SDhttps://www.itead.cc/scsi2sd.htmlIt worked like a charm, the boot time is faster, and it is MUCH quieter.
