SQM-160 Operating Manual
3.21 Rack Mounting Procedure
The Full Rack Extender option mounts a single SQM-160 into a full-width 19 in.
rack space. Follow these steps to assemble the extender and mount the SQM-160:
1
Remove SQM-160 Mounting Ear
Determine on which side of the SQM-160 to attach the rack extender. If a
rack-mount ear is already attached to the SQM160 on that side, remove the two
10-32 flat head screws that mount the ear and remove the rack-mount ear.
2
Assemble the Extender
Assemble the extender "box" using the eight 6-32 flat head screws, two end
panels, and two main panels. Thread two socket head captive panel screws
from the inside of one side of the extender. Continue to thread the captive
screws until their threads are completely exposed on one side.
3
Attach the Extender
Place the extender next to the SQM-160, and thread the captive screws into
the SQM-160 threaded holes that were previously used to mount the rack ear.
Tighten the captive screws to secure the extender to the SQM-160.
4
Attach the Mounting Ears
Attach the mounting ear previously removed from the SQM-160 to the extender
using the same10-32 flat head screws. If a rack-mount ear is not already
attached to the SQM-160, attach it.
5
Mount the SQM-160
Slide the entire assembly into an empty 3 1/2 in. high 19 in. rack-mount space.
Secure the assembly with four rack screws.
The Half Rack Adapter kit mounts one SQM-160 to another 3.5 in. high instrument.
It consists of two rack-mount ears and a small adapter bracket. Mount one rack
mount ear to the SQM-160, and the other to the second instrument. Attach the two
instruments using the adapter bracket.
