Prepare the Model 3706A for rack mount installation
Before installing the instrument, disconnect all external power from the equipment and
disconnect the line cord. Failure to disconnect all power may expose you to hazardous
voltages, which, if contacted, could cause personal injury or death.
To prepare the instrument for mounting:
1. Verify that power is disconnected from the instrument.
2. Place the instrument upside-down.
3. From the four foot assemblies on the bottom of the instrument, remove the rubber centers.
4. Use a Phillips-head screwdriver to remove the four foot assemblies. Retain the rubber foot
assemblies for future use.
5. Place the instrument right-side up.
6. Determine the placement of the rear support brackets (3706-354), using the measurement that
you took when preparing the rack. Make sure the flanges on the rear support brackets are oriented
to the outside of the instrument as shown in the following figure.
7. Use four of the #8-32 screws with washers to loosely attach the two rear support brackets to the
Model 3706A. You will use two screws and washers on each side. Do not tighten the screws fully
at this time.
