How to
install the
MPI monitor in a
dual rack cabinet
For the PRISM MPI monitor, there are two optional dual rack cabinets (19”, 3RU).
MPI-RACK-MM. Allows you to install one MPI monitor or two MPI
monitors side-by-side. Each side of the cabinet front panel has two USB ports
and a headphone jack for each MPI monitor.
MPI-RACK-MW. Allows you to install one MPI monitor or one MPI
monitor in a side-by-side installation with a Tektronix WFM52x0, WFM7200,
WFM8x00 waveform monitor. The left side of the cabinet front panel has two
USB ports and a headphone jack for one MPI monitor.
For the PRISM MPX monitor, there is an optional 1RU full-rack kit that can be
or
used for either portable or rackmount applications.
MPX RACK. Allows you to install one PRISM 1RU full width MPX RACK.
The MPX RACK rackmount kit includes the Rackmount Slides and Rails Kit
Installation Instructions document (Tektronix part number 071-2746-xx).
The information on the following pages describes how to install the MPI monitor
in one of the optional dual rack cabinets.

has specific cooling and clearance requirements. Ensure that the cle arance
requirements for proper airflow are met for both the dual rack cabinet and
the instrument. See the PRISM MPI Installation and Safety Instructions for
information about the environmental operating requirements for the instrument.

adapter must be maintained. Failure to provide adequate airflow to instrument(s)
could cause an instrument to shut down.
Inadequate airflow includes placing instrument(s) and rack adapter in any small,
enclosed room that lacks a ventilation system, such as a closet. If the airflow is
restricted or blocked and the instrument(s) do not shut down, the risk of fire is
increased and the instrument(s) could be permanently damaged.
