Rackmount the Rack-Adapted Instrument
This procedure describes how to assemble and install the slide-out tracks in the
equipment rack, and how to install the rack-adapted instrument in the rack.
The slide-out tracks permit the rack-adapted instrument to be extended 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 all of
its rear devices 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. Not all of the hardware in the kit will 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.

Installation Instructions
Install Track Assembly
and Instrument in Rack
Equipment Required: One screwdriver handle (Item 1), one number two pozidriv
tip (Item 2).
NOTE. The slide-out track assemblies that are included in this kit (Figure 3-4 on
page 8) come partially assembled with the inner tracks inside of the outer
tracks. Leave them partially assembled to simplify their installation and to avoid
accidental swapping of their inner tracks. (See WARNING on the previous page.)
If assemblies are disassembled, use Figure 9, page 19, 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 the both inner tracks.)
Procedure:
1. Assemble the slide-out track:
a. Identify the right versus left slide-out track assemblies by finding 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”, for
right hand.
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 9.
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 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 screws (10-32) and a nut
bar 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, Figure 3-4:
a. Select the mounting position in rack: Select two ½ inch spaced holes in
the front rail. V erify that the 10.500 inch clearances exist relative to
those mounting holes. See Figure 10, page 20.

b. Select mounting method according to rack type:
H To mount the slide-out tracks with their front and rear flanges
outside of the front and rear rails use Mounting Method A shown in
Figure 11 when doing substep c. Add a nut bar to the installation
only if the rails have untapped holes.
H To mount with front and rear flanges inside of rails use mounting
Mounting Method B outlined in Figure 11. 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. Fix the length of the slide-out track assembly: Tighten the screws,
applying 28 inch-lbs of torque, that were left loose in step 1, substep d,
to fix the front to rear flange spacing of the slide-out track assembly.

3. Mount instrument in rack:
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 while the instrument is in the
extended position.
a. Install the instrument:
H Working 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.
H Insert 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.
H Slide the rear of the instrument backwards until it stops.
H Push to release the button latches, located on the outside of each
track, and continue to slide the instrument all the way into the
cabinet.
b. Level the rackmounted instrument:
H Tighten 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.
H Be 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.
H Retighten 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.
H When leveling is completed, tighten the 10-32 screws using
28 inch-lbs of torque.
