Instrument Rack Mounting
The Keysight 34980A Mainframe can be mounted in a standard 19 inch
instrument rack or in an Keysight rack cabinet. Orientation can be either forward
mounted (front panel facing the front of the cabinet) or reverse mounted (rear
panel facing the front of the cabinet).
Either method will require a set of cabinet rails to support the instrument’s weight
and planned orientation, and a set of mounting brackets to secure the unit to the
cabinet.
Keysight-supplied rail kits are available for Keysight cabinets only; for all other
racks contact the rack’s vendor. The following rack mounting kits and rail kits are
available from Keysight:
– For
forward
rack mounting, use the short brackets from the Keysight Standard
rack mount kit or Y1130A Rack Mount Kit. For Keysight rack cabinets, use the
E3663A Basic Rail Kit.
