Equipment Required
Procedure
Torxdriver with T-15 tip
NOTE. Retain all parts removed from the instrument in this procedure for later
use. Some of those parts will be reinstalled as you perform this rack conversion.
The remainder should be stored in case reconversion to a standard-instrument
configuration is desired at a later time.
Right-side or left-side references in these instructions assume you are viewing
the instrument from the front panel.
1. Remove the power cord.
2. Remove the four T-15 Torxdrive screws and snap studs that secure the top
cover, and then remove the top cover by lifting the back up while pulling
towards the rear.
3. Remove the left-side cover by sliding the cover towards the rear of the
instrument.
4. Remove the two T-15 Torxdrive screws that secure the carrying handle to the
right-side trim panel. Remove the handle and the trim panel.
5. Remove the five T-15 Torxdrive screws that secure the cabinet bottom to the
instrument. Remove the bottom-cover trim from the instrument.
6. Install the lower trim cover to the front of the rackmount panels using the
four 10-32 Truss-head Phillips screws.
7. Reinstall the top cover by placing the front of the cover onto the instrument
first, then lower the back into place. Secure using the four T-15 Torxdrive
screws and snap studs.
8. Install the bracket handle and bracket spacer to the right-side rackmount
panel. Secure by using the two 10-32 panhead, Phillips screws, applying
15 inch-lbs of torque. Refer to Figure 3, on page 6.
9. Install the right-side rackmount track over the three screw posts on the
right-side rackmount panel. Use the six 8-32 locking-nut washer assemblies
to secure the right-side rack track onto the rackmount panel, applying
28 inch-lbs of torque.
CAUTION. To allow the rackmount track to lock, make sure the track button latch
is located towards the bottom of the rackmount panel. Refer to Figure 5.
Right track
(mount on the right side of
instrument).
This procedure helps you assemble and install the slide-out tracks in the
equipment rack and then mount the rack-adapted instrument into an equipment
rack.
The slide-out tracks allow the rack-adapted instrument to extend out of the rack
for rear panel and connector maintenance without removing the instrument from
the rack.
WARNING. If slide-out track assemblies are disassembled for maintenance, do
not interchange the left and right inner tracks when reinstalling them in the left
and right outer tracks. If you do so, you will defeat the extension stop (safety
latch) feature of the tracks. Equipment could, when extended, come out of the
slides and fall from the rack, possibly causing personal injury and equipment
damage.
Installation Instructions
WARNING. To prevent the rackmounted instrument from tipping forward onto the
operator, install the instrument so that the operator will be able to access the
rear panel 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 finished accessing the rear panel.
NOTE. The rack hardware kit contains hardware needed for mounting the
instrument in several configurations. All of the hardware in the kit will not be
needed.
NOTE. 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.
One screwdriver handle
One number two Pozidriv tip
NOTE. The included slide-out track assemblies (Figure 1 on page 2) come
partially assembled to simplify their installation and to avoid accidental
swapping of their inner tracks. (See WARNING on the previous page.)
If tracks are not partially assembled, use Figure 7 on page 13 to match left and
right slides. (Note that when the left and right tracks are oriented as shown, the
round cutout is below the square cutout at the end of both inner tracks.)
1. Assemble the slide-out track:
a. Identify the right verses left slide-out track assemblies: find the date
code label on each assembly. The assembly to be mounted in the left side
of the equipment rack (the side nearest the left side of the instrument
when it is rackmounted) has a date code that ends with “LH,” for left
hand. The right assembly has a date code ending with “RH.”
b. Measure the distance between the front and rear rail of the equipment
rack.
c.Align the rear bracket to the right slide-out track as shown in Figure 7.
Note the rear bracket has multiple pairs of mount-through holes. When
aligning the bracket and track, be sure to select a pair of holes that mount
the rear bracket so that the flange-to-flange distance (see figure) matches
the front-rail to rear rail spacing of the rackmount rack just measured.
d. Using a screwdriver with a number two Pozidriv tip, secure the rear
bracket to the right slide out track using two mounting screws and a bar
nut as illustrated. Leave the screws loose so that the overall length of the
slide-out track assembly can be adjusted when installing it in the rack.
e.Repeat substeps c and d to assemble the left slide-out track assembly.
2. Mount the slide-out track assemblies, using the slide drawer hardware listed
in the kit parts list:
a. Select the mounting position in rack: Select two 0.5 inch spaced holes in
the front rail. V erify that the 4.36 inch and 14 inch clearances exist
relative to those mounting holes. See Figure 8, page 14.
HTo mount the slide-out tracks with their front and rear flanges
outside of the front and rear rails, use method A, shown in Figure 9,
when doing substep c. Add a bar nut to the installation only if the
rails have untapped holes.
HTo mount with front and rear flanges inside of rails, use method B,
shown in Figure 9. This mounting method assumes untapped holes.
c.Install in rack: Using the method and hardware determined from substep
b, secure the right slide-out track assembly to its front and rear rails. The
screws should be fully, but lightly, seated so mounting can be adjusted
later.
d. Adjust the length of the slide-out track assembly by tightening the
screws (left loose in substep d of step 1) by applying 28 inch-lbs of
torque.
e.Mount the left slide-out track assembly: Repeat substeps a through d to
mount the left slide-out track assembly.

WARNING. To prevent the instrument from tipping or dropping onto the installers, two or more people should install this instrument into the rack cabinet.
After completing the installation procedure, the installers should verify that the
instrument and rack cabinet will not tip forward when the instrument is in the
extended position.
3. Mount instrument in rack.
a. Install the instrument:
HWorking from the front of the rack, slide the inner track of each
slide-out track assembly until it extends out the front of the rack.
Continue to slide them out until they lock.
HInsert the left and right tracks that extend from the rear of the
instrument into the ends of the tracks just extended. Make sure the
tracks mounted on the instrument slip inside the inner tracks
extended earlier.
HSlide the rear of the instrument backwards until it stops.
HPush the button latches located on the outside of each track to unlock
them and continue to slide the instrument all the way into the
cabinet.
b. Level the rackmounted instrument:
HTighten the four screws that were left loose at the rear of the rack
when you did step 2, substep c, and then pull the instrument part
way out of the rack.
HBe sure the four screws that were left loose at the front of the rack
are loose enough to allow the slide-out track assemblies to seek their
normal positions.
HRetighten the four screws and push the instrument all the way into
the rack. If the tracks do not slide smoothly, readjust the level using
the method just detailed.
HWhen leveling is completed, tighten the 10-32 screws using
c.Secure the instrument and install the power cord:
HLocate and use one of the following types: 10-32 or 12-24 or M5-20
or M6-20 oval head screws. Insert each screw through its nylon
finish washer as shown on the data sheet included with the hardware
kit.
HUsing a number two Phillips screwdriver, install the screw/washer
assembly in one of the two mounting holes in the right front bracket.
Repeat for the second mounting hole. Tighten both screws using
25 inch-lbs of torque.
HInstall the two remaining screw/washer assemblies in the left front
