Keysight M9514A Site Preparation and Installation Guide
Rack Mount the Chassis
Procedure
8
Set the M9514A chassis onto the support rails.
9
Slide the M9514A chassis into the rack on the rack rails until the rack mount
front handle flanges are against the rack’s vertical columns. Secure the
chassis to the rack using the adapter dress screws.
Space and Airflow Requirements
The M9514A draws cool air in through the bottom front of the chassis and expels
hot air through the vents at the top rear of the chassis. Therefore, the front of the
rack enclosure must be adequately ventilated to enable ambient room air to
enter the enclosure and the rear of the rack enclosure must be adequately
ventilated to enable the hot air to escape.
If the front of the rack is not completely filled with instruments or other
components, the remaining gaps between components can cause changes in
airflow which can adversely affect cooling within the rack. Cover these gaps with
rack blank filler panels.
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).
Do not install the chassis upside down in the rack.
If the rack will be moved excessively or over long distances, you
should use a strap to secure the chassis to the rack support rails.
Do not block ventilation openings in the chassis and the rack
enclosure. To maintain adequate airflow, do not install front doors on
the rack.
Always use blank filler panels to fill empty spaces between
components in rack enclosures. This arrangement ensures proper
airflow. Using an enclosure without the proper blank panels results
in improper cooling that can lead to thermal damage.
