How to install the

MPI monitor in a

dual rack cabinet

There are two optional dual rack cabinets (19 inch, 3RU) available for the PRISM monitor. Each of the cabinet kits include the PRISM MPI Dual Rack Cabinet and Extender Installation Instructions document (Tektronix part number 071-3577-xx).

MPI-RACK-MM. Allows you to install one MPI unit or two MPI units side-by-side. Each side of the cabinet front panel has two USB ports and a headphone

jack for each MPI unit.

MPI-RACK-MW. Allows you to install one MPI unit or one MPI unit 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 unit.

For the

PRISM MPX monitor, there is an optional 1RU full-rack kit that can be

used for either portable or rackmount applications.

MPX RA

CK. 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).

speciﬁc cooling and clearance requirements. Make sure that the clearance 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.

CAUTION. To prevent risk of ﬁre, adequate airﬂow to instrument(s) and rack

could cause an instrument to shut down.

Inadequat

eairﬂow 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.
