You can calculate the total weight of your Series 3700A using the weights of the individual
components in your system. For example, if you have a Series 3700A mainframe with six plug-in
cards and three adapters installed:
6.12 kg + (1.36 kg
6) + (0.45 kg
3) = 15.63 kg
(13.5 lb + (3.0 lb
6) + (1.0 lb
3) = 34.45 lb)
Rack-mounting instructions
The following instructions are for configurations with up to two plug-in cards. If you have more than
two cards installed in the Series 3700A mainframe, you must use the optional Model 4288-10 Rear
Support Mount Kit in a fixed installation.
