ductive parts are directly connected through the
grounding conductor of the power cord to the
grounding contact of the powar plug.
The powar input plug must only be inserted in a
mating receptacle with agrounding contact Do not
defeat the grounding connection. Any intenuption
of the grounding connection can create an electric
shock hazard.
For electric shock protectfon, the grouttding con-

See Rg. 2*1. RefertothelinevoRage andfuse data label
on the rear panel.
Fuse Replacement
Turn the slotted section of the line fuse holder
counterclockwise and remove the fuse. Replace the fuse
with the proper type as shown on the rear panel label.
Cabling
Remove power cord before attempting cable in-
stallation.
For convenience, cabling from the front of the power
module to the rear par>el may be run through the air intake
and cable raceway as shown in Rg. 2>2. To install this
cabling first remove the access panel on the rear of the
power module. See Rg. 2-1. Next remove the two bottom
panel retainer screws and the bottom panel retainers.
Slide the bottom panel outfromtherearofthelnstrument.
Pass the cable through the front air Intake, across the
bottom of the plug-in support rails and out the access
panel. Replace the power module bottom cover.
To ensure proper cooling, do not operate the power
module with any cover removed.
Table Top Use
The power module may be operated with the front
raised. To raise the front of theinstrument extend the front
ball as shown in Rg. 2-3.
Rackmounting Instructions
Cooling. Examine the side panels of the TM 5006,
Option 10, power module. If there are no cooling holes in the
$i^ panels, at least 1-inch clearance must be maintairted
between the bottom of the power module artd the in-
strument below it. This is necessary to insure proper
cooling. If the side panels have cooling holes, no special
precautions are necessary.
If the rack has positive internal pressure for cooling
purposes, the mainframes must have aH compartments filled
with plug-ins or blank front panels (available from Tektronix,
Inc.) must be installed in the unused plug-in openings. If
greater interrtal air flow is desired in arelatively highly
pressurized rack, the grill opening at the bottom front of the
TM 5006 may also be blocked.
Rack Dimensions. The TM S(X>6. Option 10, is shipped
from the factory ready for rack mounting. Rgure 2-4 shows
major dimensions. Rture 2-5 shows the spring-latch cutout
in the stationary section.
NOTE
The slide tracks supplied with the TM 5006, Option
10, have holes in the stationary sections to
accomodate the spring latches. The TM 5006, Option
10. should not be mounted with rack slides that do not
have the rack-latch holes.
The TM 5006, Option 10, fits the standard 19-inch side
cabinet, rack or console. Spacing inside the flt}nt rails must
be at least 17 3/4 inches. This allows clearance for the
stationary section of the slideout backs to permit the
assembly to slide freely on the sikMxjt tracks.
