Rack Mount the Chassis
Up to three M9514A chassis will fit in a standard (19”) 2 meter rack (such as the
Agilent E3662B). Use one option Y1229A Rail Kit for each rack-mounted chassis.
All of the major field replaceable units (fan trays, power supplies, etc.) can be
replaced while the chassis is installed in a rack.
Tools needed:
-
T25 Torx diver
-
#1 and #2 Phillips screwdrivers
-
Offset #2 Phillips screwdriver (for dress screws behind chassis handle)
General Rackmounting Guidelines
In rack mounting the chassis, follow these guidelines:
1
Prior to rack mounting the chassis, you must remove the four rubber feet on
the bottom of the chassis.
2
The rack mounting flanges are integral to the chassis itself. However, you
must install rack support rails (Agilent E3664AC) to support the chassis
weight. Do not use the support rails supplied with the rack.
3
Always begin installing the chassis and heavy instruments at the bottom of
the rack and work up. The heaviest instrument, typically the chassis, should
always be mounted at the bottom of the rack. This maintains a lower center of
gravity and reduces the possibility of the rack tipping.
4
Anti-tipping feet, if available with the rack, should always be extended.
5
For maximum cooling and optimum rack thermal efficiency, place the
instrument or chassis with the greatest power consumption towards the top of
the rack. This promotes efficient cooling since heat rises. When placed nearer
to the top of the rack, high power instruments will not unnecessarily heat
