10.4 Mounting the 946 Controller
The 946 Controller was designed for both rack mounting and bench top use. In both cases, leave at least
1 inch (25mm) open above the perforated panels to ensure adequate ventilation of the controller. Side
clearance is not required.
To accommodate connectors and cables, leave open about 3 inches (75mm) clearance behind the rear
panel.
Adhesive backed rubber pads are provided for bench top use. Remove the adhesive backing from each
pad and apply one to each corner of the bottom surface.
Optional mounting hardware is available for mounting the 946 Controller in a 19-inch rack.
