Installation Instructions
These instructions provide information for installing the 020–2197–XX TLA 711
Benchtop Mainframe Rackmount kit.
You can install the rackmount to either recess the mainframe into the front of the
mainframe rack or to extend it out of the front of the mainframe rack. You can
recess the mainframe from 0.735 inches to 5.735 inches in 0.5-inch increments.
You can extend the mainframe at specified depths from 0.57 inches to 5.57
inches in 0.5-inch increments.
The steps for installing the rackmount kits consist of installing the rackmount
hardware to the mainframe and then installing the mainframe in the rack.
A list of the kit contents and replaceable parts appears at the end of this
document.
You will need the following tools to install the rackmount option:
WARNING. Because of the size and weight of the mainframe, use care when
lifting or moving the benchtop mainframe to avoid personal injury while
performing the installation procedures. Use two people to lift or move the
mainframe.
Install the Rackmount Kit Hardware
Refer to Figure 1 on page 2 and perform the following steps to install the
rackmount kit hardware:
1. Remove the rubber feet from the mainframe.
2. Determine whether you want to install the benchtop mainframe so that it
extends out of the rack or is recessed within the rack.
If you want to extend the mainframe from the front of the rack, position the
rackmount bracket as shown on the right side of Figure 1. If you want to
recess the mainframe in the rack, position the rackmount bracket as shown
on the left side of Figure 1.

3. Determine how far you want to recess or extend the mainframe and install
the rackmount adapter as shown using two 8-32 screws (included with the
kit). Similarly, install the other bracket on the other side of the mainframe.

4. Remove the five 8-32 screws from both sides of the mainframe.
5. Attach the left and right inside tracks to the sides of the mainframe using
five 8-32 flathead screws. Orient the button latch so that it faces away from
the mainframe and toward the rear.

Install the Mainframe in the Rack
Use the following procedure to install the benchtop mainframe in the rack:
1. Identify the right and left slide-out track assemblies: find the date code label
on each assembly. The assembly to be mounted in the left side of the rack
(the side nearest the left side of the mainframe when it is mounted in the
rack) has a date code that ends with LH (for left hand). The right assembly
has a date code ending with RH.
2. Measure the distance between the front and rear rail of the rack.
3. Align the rear bracket to the right slide-out track as shown in Figure 2. Note
that the rear bracket has two pairs of mount-through holes. When aligning
the bracket and the track, select a pair of holes that mount the rear bracket so
the flange-to-flange distance (see Figure 2) matches the front rail to rear rail
spacing that you just measured in step 2.
NOTE. If necessary, refer to the rackmount kit instructions for detailed installation information.
Installation Instructions
4. Attach the rear bracket to the right slide-out track using two 10-32 screws
and a bar nut as shown in Figure 2. Leave the screws loose so that you can
adjust the overall length of the slide-out track assembly when installing the
mainframe in the rack.
5. Repeat steps 3 and 4 to assemble the left slide-out track assembly.

6. Select the mounting position in the rack: select two 0.5-inch spaced holes in
the front rail and verify that the 1.5-inch and 14.00-inch clearances exist
relative to the mounting holes as shown in Figure 3.
NOTE. The 14-inch vertical clearance is only valid for the mainframe without the
rubber feet and cable tray.

7. Select the mounting method according to the rack type.
To mount the slide-out tracks with the front and rear flanges outside of the
front and rear rails, use method A shown in Figure 4 when doing step 8. Add
a bar nut to the installation only if the rails have untapped holes.
To mount with front and rear flanges inside of the rails, use mounting
method B shown in Figure 4 when doing step 8. This mounting method
assumes untapped holes.
8. Using the mounting method determined from the previous step, secure the
right slide-out track assembly to the front and rear rails. Seat the screws
fully, but lightly, to adjust the mounting later.
9. Tighten the screws left loose in step 4 to fix the front to rear flange spacing
of the slide-out track assembly.

WARNING. Installing the benchtop mainframe in the rack requires at least two
people. Because of the size and weight of the mainframe, installing the mainframe alone can result in personal injury or equipment damage. One person
should be on the left side of the mainframe with one hand holding the left front
handle and with the other hand underneath the mainframe. The other person
should do likewise on the right side of the mainframe.
11. Fully extend the inner tracks of each slide-out section out of the front of the
rack until they lock.
12. Lift the mainframe and insert the left and right tracks that extend from the
rear of the mainframe into the ends of the tracks that you just extended.
Make sure that the tracks mounted on the mainframe slip just inside the inner
tracks that you extended earlier.
13. Slide the mainframe back until it stops.
14. Push to release the button latches, located on the outside of each track, and
continue to slide the mainframe all the way back into the rack cabinet.

15. Tighten the four screws that you left loose at the rear of the rack when you
performed step 8 and pull the mainframe part way out of the rack. (Tighten
the 10-32 screws using 28 inch-lbs of torque.)
16. Be sure that the screws that you left loose at the front of the rack are loose
enough to allow the slide-out track assemblies to seek the normal positions.
17. Tighten the screws and push the mainframe all the way into the rack. If the
tracks do not slide smoothly, readjust the level using the method described in
steps 15 and 16. (Tighten the 10-32 screws using 28 inch-lbs of torque.)
18. Install the proper power cord at the rear of the mainframe.
