Equipment List
Use the following tools to install the kit hardware:
Phillips #2 and #3 screwdrivers
Torx T20 and T25 screwdrivers
Flat-bladed screwdriver and measuring tape
Installation
Use the following procedure and refer to the illustration to
assemble the rackmount hardware and install the instrument
into the rack. (See Figure 1.)
1.
Remove the two screws (item #10) from the side of
each handle on the front of the instrument.
2.
Install one rack ear over each handle on the instrument,
using the same screws that you removed in step 1.
Item 11 for the AWG70000A Series.
Item 14 for the AWGSYNC01.
3.
Remove the slides from the slide/rail assemblies (item
#3): extend the slide until it locks, and then depress the
spring-lock and pull out the slide.
4.
Install a slide from one of the slide/rail assemblies
on one side of the instrument using three 8–32 x
0.375 screws (item #8). Orient the spring-lock toward
therearoftheinstrument.
5.
Repeat step 4 for the other side of the instrument.
6.
Loosen the screws that attach the brackets to each of
the rail assemblies, and then adjust the rails to barely
cover the screw holes in the front brackets, as shown in
the figure. Tighten the front bracket screws, but leave
the rear bracket screws loose.
7.
Determine where in the equipment rack to mount the
bracket/rail assemblies:
Ensure that there is room for adequate airflow on
each side of the rack.
8.
If you intend to install the instrument immediately
above another instrument in the rack (with no
clearance), first remove the feet from the bottom of
the instrument.
AWG70000A Series: Use a flat-bladed screwdriver
to pry out the 7/16"–deep plug that covers a hidden
fastener, and then use a Torx T20 driver to remove
the bottom feet.
AWGSYNC01: Use a Torx T20 driver to remove
the bottom feet.
9.
Identify the right-side bracket/rail assembly by the
stamped words on the brackets: FRONT on the top-left
(item #5) and REAR (item #4) on the top-right, as
shown in the figure.
10.
Using 4 screws (item #6), install the right-side
bracket/rail assembly in the right-side of the equipment
rack: First attach the front bracket to the front of the
rack, and then adjust and mount the rear bracket to the
rear mount in the equipment rack. Do not tighten the
screws; leave them loose.
11.
Repeat step 10 for the left side of the rack.
12.
With both assemblies mounted in the equipment
rack, tighten the screws that attach the rear brackets
to each of the rail assemblies only; leave the eight
bracket-to-rack screws (item #6) loose.
13.
Roll the ball-bearing sections of each rail assembly to
the front of the rack.
14.
Align the instrument slides to the rails in the equipment
rack, and then slide the instrument into the rack. This
is easier if you have another persontohelpyouliftthe
instrument or guide the slides.
15.
After the instrument reaches the spring locks, depress
them and slide the instrument completely into the rack.
16.
Verify that the instrument slides easily on the rails, and
then tighten the eight screws that secure the front and
rear brackets to the rack.
17.
Attach the instrument to the rack with four 10–32
raised countersunk screws (item #13) and washers
(item #12): two each on the left side and two each
on the right side. Use spacers (item #9) on the upper
screws, behind the rack ears, so that the top of the
instrument mounts securely to the rack. (Spacers are
only required for the AWG70000A series instruments.
18.
Connect the power cord and any other cables required
for your application and verify that the equipment
operates properly.
