Installation Instructions
Rackmount the Rack-Adapted Instrument
This procedure assembles and installs the slide-out tracks in the equipment rack,
and then installs the rack-adapted instrument in the rack.
The slide-out tracks permit the rack-adapted instrument to be extended out of the
rack for rear-panel and connector maintenance without removing the instrument
from the rack.
WARNING.
To prevent the rackmounted instrument from tipping forward onto the
operator, install the instrument so that the operator will be able to access all of its
rear devices without pushing down on the instrument.
Verify that the rack does not become unstable with the instrument fully extended.
Do not leave the instrument extended when
fi
nished accessing the rear panel.
Install Track Assembly and
Instrument into the Rack
Equipment Required: One screwdriver handle, one number two PoziDriv tip,
and one torque driver.
NOTE.
The rack hardware kit contains hardware for mounting the instrument in
several con
fi
gurations. Not all of the hardware in the kit will be needed.
A standard equipment rack has rails with universal hole spacing. If you use a
rack with other than universal hole spacing, you may have to drill additional
mounting holes in the rack.
