Installing the instrument into the rails in the rack
WARNING. To avoid personal injury and instrument damage, do not use slides
provided with other instruments from other kits (for example, General Devices,
Chassis Trak C-300) with the rails from this kit. The locking feature will not
function, resulting in product falling out of the rack when it is removed from
the rack.
Do not mix parts from different rackmount kits. Mixing the items will result in

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-panel connectors without pushing down on the instrument. Verify that the
rack does not become unstable with the instrument fully extended. Do not leave

Installation instructions
Screw selection
For the slides installation, this kit provides two sets of screws: one metric and
one English. Both screw types are provided because some instruments require
metric screws to attach the slides, other instruments require English screws. In
addition, some instruments require four screws to attach the slides and others
require thr
ee screws.
Use the following table to identify the type and number of screws to use for
your instr
ument.

NOTE. The slides may already be installed on your instrument. If they are, skip
this procedure and go to Installing the Rails. (See page 9.)
1. Identify the right rear and left rear of each slide. A warning label will be on
the outside side of each slide. (See Figure 3.) (See Figure 4.)
2. Make sure that the rear of the slide is nearest to the rear of the instrument.
The front of each slide has a notch in the center edge.
3. Align the mounting holes on the right slide to the mounting holes on the
right side of the instrument.
4. Using a screwdriver with a #2 Phillips tip, attach the right slide to the right
side of the instrument by doing the following:
CAUTION. Be careful to select the correct screw type for your instrument (metric
or English) (See Table 3.). If the screws do not insert easily, do not use excessive
force or you may damage the threads. In this case, you a re probably using the

short hook facing downward, over the remaining mounting hole. (See
Figure 3.) (See Figure 4.)
d. Depending on your instrument, insert a metric or English screw into the
bushing for the lever.
e. Insert the bushing and screw into the lever so that the lever is attached to
the slide and the slide is secured to the instrument.

Installing the rails
Installation instructions
This two part procedure describes how to assemble and install the rails in the
equipment rack.
Assembling the rails
1. Measure the distance between the front and rear ra il of the equipment rack.
2. Align the re
pairs of mount-through holes. When aligning the bracket and rail, be sure to
select a pair of holes that mount the rear bracket so that the flange-to-flange
distance matches the front rail to rear rail spacing of the rackmount rack just
measuredinstep2. (SeeFigure5.)
3. Using a screwdriver with a #2 Phillips tip, attach the rear bracket to the right
rail using two 10-32 screws and a bar nut. Leave the screws loose so that you
can adju

ar bracket to the right rail. Notice that the rear bracket has multiple
st the overall length of the rail assembly in the rack.

Installation instructions
Mounting the rails
1. Select a 1/2 inc
2. Select the mounting method according to your rack type:
Mount the rails with their front and rear flanges outside the front and rear
racks and add a bar nut to the installation only if the rails have untapped
holes.
Mount the rails with their front and rear flanges inside the front and rear
racks and add a bar nut. This mounting method assumes untapped holes
3. Using the method and hardware determined from step 2, attach the right rail
assembly to the equipment rack front and rear rails. The screws should be
fully, but lightly, seated so that you can adjust the rack later.
4. Tighten the screws left loose when you assembled the rails, applying
28 inch-lbs of torque, to fix the front to rear flange spacing of the rail assembly.
5. Repeat this procedure to mount the left rail assembly.
Installing the instrument into the rack

hspacedholeinthefrontrack.
.
WARNING. To prevent injury during product installation, use care not to pinch
hands or fingers in the rails and s lides.
1. Insert the instrument left a nd right slides into the ends of the rack rails while
tilting the long handle part of each lever upward. (See Figure 6.)
NOTE. Make sure to insert the instrument slides inside the inner rack rails. You
may also need to tilt rear of the instrument up or down at a slight angle to fit
the slides into the rails.
2. Push the instrument into the rack until it stops.
CAUTION. To prevent damage to the instrument and rackmount, do not force the
instrument into the rack if it does not slide smoothly. The rails assembly may need
to be adjusted to resolve the problem.
3. Retighten any loose screws and push the instrument all the way into the rack.
If the tracks do not slide smoothly, readjust the rail assemblies.
4. When adjusting is completed, tighten all rail assembly 10-32 screws using
28 inch-lbs of torque.
