3. Mount the stationary slide-out sections to the rear
rack rails using either of these methods.
(a) If the rear rail holes are not tapped to accept 10-
32 machine screws, mount the left stationary section
with hardware provided as shown in the left or center
illustration of Fig. 4-2A. Note that the rear mounting
bracket can be installed either way so the slide-out
tracks will fit a deep or shallow cabinet rack. Use Fig. 4-
2A as a guide for mounting the right stationary section.
Make sure that the stationary sections are horizontally
aligned so they are level and parallel with each other.
(b) If the rear rack rail holes are tapped to accept 10-
32 machine screws, mount the left stationary section
with hardware provided as shown In the left or center
illustration of Fig. 4-2B. Note that the rear mounting
bracket can be installed either way so the slide-out
tracks will fit a deep or shallow cabinet rack stationary
section. Make sure the stationary sections are horizon­
tally aligned so they are level and parallel with each
other.
To secure the instrument front-panel to the rack, the
rack must
either have universal hole spacing, or a hole
must be drilled and tapped for a 10-32 screw, see Fig. 4-3.
Using the hardware (not furnished) indicated in Fig. 4-3,
secure the instrument to the front rails of the rack.
Slide-Out Track Maintenance
The slide-out tracks require no lubrication. Thespeciai
dark gray finish on the sliding parts is a permanent
lubrication.
Ventilation Requirements
When the oscilloscope is mounted in a rack with other
equipment, it is important that the ambient temperature
surrounding it does not 50° C. Additional
clearance or forced ventilation methods (fan) may need to
be employed to maintain ambient temperatures below
+50°C. Reliability and performance of the oscilloscope
will be affected if the ventilation holes in the protective
panels are obstructed, or if it is operated at an ambient
temperature higher than -I5O°C.
Installation And Adjustment
To insert the instrument into the rack, proceed as
follows:
1. Pull the slide-out track intermediate sections out to
the fully extended position.
2. Insert the instrument chassis sections into the
intermediate sections.
3. Press the stop latches on the chassis sections and
push the instrument toward the rack until the latches snap
into their holes.
4. Again press the stop latches and push the instru­
ment into the rack.
To adjust the slide-out tracks for smooth sliding action,
loosen the screws used to join the stationary sections to
the rails of the rack. Center the instrument, allowing the
slide-out tracks to seek the proper width, then tighten the
screws.
REPACKAGING FOR
RESHIPMENT
If the Tektronix instrument is to be shipped to a
Tektronix Service Center for service or repair, attach a tag
showing: owner (with address) and the name of an
individual at your firm that can be contacted. Include
complete instrument serial number and a description of
the service required.
Save and re-use the package in which your instrument
was shipped. If the original packaging is unfit for use or
not available, repackage the instrument as follows:
Surround the instrument with polyethylene sheeting
to protect the finish of the instrument. Obtain a
carton of corrugated cardboard of the correct carton
strength and having inside dimensions of no less
than six inches more than the instrument dimen­
sions. Cushion the instrument by tightly packing
three inches of dunnage or urethane foam between
carton and instrument, on all sides. Seal carton with
shipping tape or industrial stapler.
The carton test strength for your instrument is 275
pounds.
