Keysight M9514A Site Preparation and Installation Guide
Introduction
Plan the Chassis Installation
Plan the Chassis Installation
The M9514A can be used as either as a bench top or rack mounted chassis.
Consider your anticipated chassis weight (with modules installed), power, noise,
ventilation requirements, and rack mounting options to ensure safety and
optimize access to test and control instrumentation.
You may want to create a complete system plan diagram for your site. A system
plan diagram details power availability, communications cabling, and system
placement with respect to other equipment. It can also serve to verify physical
access for operators and maintenance personnel.
The following figure shows a typical layout for a rack containing an M9514A AXIe
chassis. You should allow one meter of space in front of the rack for operator
access and one meter of space behind the system for service.
Chassis Dimensions and Weight
Identify the bench top or rack space before the chassis arrives using the
specifications below. See also,

Chassis exceeds 48 kg. Use a mechanical lift to lift the chassis. The
chassis should be transported using a rolling cart. Do not lift the
chassis by the handles on the front and rear of the chassis. If you
plan to mount the chassis at the top of a rack (see
on page 35) the mechanical lift must be
able to raise the chassis to approximately 60” (1.5 meters).
