2.6 INSTALLING THE CSIII
The CsIII mounts in a standard 19-inch equipment rack. The CsIII side plates are drilled
and tapped to accept chassis rack slides. The use of chassis rack slides or other means
of support is necessary because of the weight and weight distribution of the instrument.
The front panel occupies a height of 3.75” (2U).
• Mount the CsIII in the desired location in the equipment rack using standard rack
mount hardware. Install the proper fuse into the fuse holder marked DC fuse on
the rear panel. Fuse specifications are provided on the instrument’s rear panel.
• If available, apply AC power to the CsIII by installing the detachable power supply
cord at the AC Input connection on the rear panel.

CAUTION
To prevent damage to the instrument during installation, disconnect the power by
removing the fuse from the rear panel. The fuse is the emergency disconnect for the
