Rackmount the Rack-Adapted Instrument using rack slides
If you ordered the optional rackmount slides, this procedure assembles and
installs the slide-out tracks in the equipment rack, and then installs the rackadapted 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. 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.
Installation Instructions

2. Assemble the slide-out track:
a. Measure the distance between the front and rear rail of the equipment
rack.
b. Align the rear bracket to the right slide-out track as shown in Figure 15.
Note that 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 matches the
distance between the front rail and rear rail measured in step a.
c. 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 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.
d. Repeat steps b and c to assemble the left slide-out track assembly.
3. Mount the slide-out track assemblies, using the slide drawer hardware listed
in the kit parts list, Figure 1-10:
a. Select the mounting position in rack: Select two 0.5 inch-spaced holes in

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 the mounting method A shown
in Figure 17 when doing substep c. Add a bar nut to the installation
only if the rails have untapped holes.
H To mount with front and rear flanges inside of rails, use the
mounting method B outlined in Figure 17. 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-lb of torque, left loose in step 1 substep c, to fix the
front to rear flange spacing of the slide-out track assembly.

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 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 3, substep c, and then pull the instrument part
way out of the rack.
H Be sure that 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-lb of torque.
