Rack-Adapter Kit Description
The rack adapter kit is a collection of parts that, once installed, configure the
analyzer for mounting in a standard 19-inch equipment rack.
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.
The dimensional drawing in Figure 3 on page 5 illustrates the rack-adapted
analyzer.
Warranted Characteristics
When the analyzer is installed according to the instructions in this document, the
rackmounted analyzer meets all warranted requirements except for those listed in
Environmental R equirements on page 2. Analyzers mounted using methods
other than those described in these instructions may cause the analyzer to not
meet its warranted requirements.

Clearance Requirements
The rack in which the rack adapted analyzer is mounted must provide the
following clearance requirements:
H A minimum of 264.5 mm (10.4 in) of vertical space.
H A minimum width of 441.6 mm (17.4 in) between the left- and right-front
H A minimum inside depth of at least 486.0 mm (19.1 in).
CAUTION. Adhering to these clearance requirements mounts the rack adapted
analyzer with sufficient for air circulation and accommodation of the power cord
and mounting hardware. Failure to provide these clearances can result in
overheating and can cause the analyzer to operate improperly and/or fail.
