Clearance Requirements
The rack in which the rack adapted instrument is mounted must provide the
following clearance requirements:
HA minimum of 222.25 mm (8.75 in) of vertical space
HA minimum width of 450.09 mm (17.72 in) between the left- and right-front
rails in the rack
HA minimum depth of 342.90 mm (13.50 in)
CAUTION. Adhering to these clearance requirements provides the rack-mounted
instrument with sufficient clearance for air circulation and accommodation of
the power cord and mounting hardware. Failure to provide these clearances can
result in overheating and can cause instrument faults or failure.

These instructions are for qualified service personnel who are familiar with
servicing the product. If you need further details for disassembling or reassem-
bling the product, refer to the appropriate product manual. Contact your nearest
Tektronix Service Center or Tektronix Factory Service for installation assistance.
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-panel connectors 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
10 RMD3000 Rackmount Kit
Install
Equipment Required: Torque driver with #2 Pozidriv tip (Items, 5, and 6).
This section describes mounting the rackmount adapter parts to the instrument.
1. Install the left and right side brackets onto the bottom bracket using three of
the 6-32 x 0.312 inch pan head Pozidriv screws on each side. See Figure 4.
Tighten these screws to 8 in-lb.
2424-- 003
Figure 4: Assembling the rack adapter sides and bottom brackets
2. Install the rear feet bracket onto the bottom bracket using two of the
6-32 x 0.312 inch pan head Pozidriv screws, tightened to 8 in-lb. See
Figure 5.

3. Place the right faceplate into position, and then install the right handle using
two of the 8-32 x 0.5 inch flat head Pozidriv screws tightened to 16 in-lb.
See Figure 6. Installing the handle secures the faceplate in place.
4. Repeat Step 3, using the left faceplate and handle.

5. Place the oscilloscope into the rackmount frame, as shown in Figure 7.
Position the oscilloscope’s rear feet against the rear feet bracket. The front of
the oscilloscope will extend slightly beyond the two faceplates.
2424-- 006
Figure 7: Placing the oscilloscope into the rack adapter
NOTE. There is sufficient clearance between the bottom of the oscilloscope and
the rack adapter, allowing cables to be routed from the front of the oscilloscope
to the back.
6. Position the oscilloscope handle so that it extends straight to the back, as
shown in Figure 7. There is no detent in this position.
7. Install the top bracket by sliding it into place from the back, so that the two
top feet on the oscilloscope fit through the slots in the bracket. Attach the
bracket with two of the 6-32 x 0.312 inch pan head Pozidriv screws,
provided in the kit, on each side. See Figure 8.

8. Place the handle brackets around the handle, slipping the front of the
brackets into the reliefs stamped into the rackmount side brackets. Attach the
handle brackets using the four 6-32 x 0.312 inch flat head Pozidriv screws
provided in the kit. Tighten these screws to 8 in-lb. See Figure 9.

NOTE. The bottom bracket has holes to facilitate mounting optional accessories.
For example, Figure 10 shows a TEK-USB-488 GPIB to USB Adapter and an
optional Probe Power Adapter mounted to the back support. Optional accesso-
ries may be mounted with screws, or you can use nylon straps to secure them.

Rackmount the Rack-Adapted Instrument without rack slides
If you did not order the optional rackmount slides, you may install the Rack-
adapted instrument into an equipment rack by following this procedure:
WARNING. To prevent the instrument from tipping or falling onto the installers,
this procedure should be performed by two or more people.
Equipment Required: One screwdriver handle (Item 1) and one number two
Pozidriv tip (Item 2).
1. Select the appropriate screws for your equipment rack from the kit; 10--32,
12--24, M5, or M6. Assemble them with the recessed and flat washers as
shown:
Recessed

Flat

Screw Use this
type flat washer
10-32 0.625 in. OD
12-32 12 mm OD
M5 0.625 in. OD
M6 12 mm OD
2. Standard equipment racks utilize one of two mounting hole spacing methods.
Both methods use mounting holes spaced 0.5 inch apart, separated by a 1.25
inch gap. One method (A) places an additional mounting hole in the middle
of the 1.25 inch gap (at 0.625, or 5/8, inch); the other method (B) does not.
See Figure 11.

3. Select two 0.5 inch-spaced holes in the front rail. Verify that there are
clearances of 1.5 inch above the upper mounting hole and 6.75 inch below
the lower mounting hole.
4. Slide the oscilloscope into the equipment rack so that the pin extending back
from the left side, just below the upper mounting hole, goes into the lower of
the 0.5 inch-spaced holes in the front rail. This pin is a locating guide, and
also an aid to holding the oscilloscope in place while securing the oscillo-
scope to the instrument rack.
5. Use the screws and washers from step 1 to secure the oscilloscope to the
instrument rack.

Installation Instructions
RMD3000 Rackmount Kit 17
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 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. 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.
Equipment Required: One screwdriver handle (Item 1), one number two Pozidriv
tip (Item 2), one straight slot tip (item 2) and one torque driver (Item 5).
NOTE. The rack hardware kit contains hardware for mounting the instrument in
several configurations. Not all of the hardware in the kit will be needed.
Procedure:
1. Attach the front (chassis) left and right tracks to the rack adapter:
a. Remove the front (chassis) section of each of the two tracks. See
Figure 12.
b. Install the front left- and right-side track sections on the instrument using
six of the 10-32 x 3/8inch slotted screws tightened to 28 in-lb. See
Figure 13.

WARNING. To ensure that the rackmount track locks, make sure the track button
latches are oriented correctly: the right-side latch is located toward the bottom
of the rackmount panel and the left-side latch is located toward the top of the
rackmount panel. Refer to Figure 14.
