Warranted Characteristics
When the instrument is installed according to the instructions in this document,
the rack-mounted instrument meets all warranted characteristics listed in the
instrument specification except for those listed. (See page 5, Environmental
Requirements.) Instruments mounted using methods other than those described in
these instructions may not meet their warranted characteristics.
See the specifications for your instrument model for tables of the warranted
characteristics.
Cooling air enters on the bottom and right sides as shown. (See Figure 3.) You
must provide adequate cool air to meet the ambient temperature requirements
listed. (See Table 3 on page 5.)

Clearance Requirements
The rack in which the rack adapted instrument is mounted must provide the
following clearance requirements:
A minimum of 8.75 in (222.25 mm) of vertical space

These instructions are for qualified service personnel who are familiar with
servicing the product. If you need further details for disassembling or reassembling
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

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.
WARNING. To avoid electric shock, disconnect the power cord from the mains
power before removing the cover. Failure to do so could result in personal injury
or death.

in case reconversion to a standard instrument configuration is desired at a later
time.
1. Disconnect the power cord from the rear of the instrument.
2. Remove the four T-15 TORX screws that secure the rear cover to the front
case assembly. (See Figure 5.)

4. Install the top support plate; note the orientation for the different instruments:
(See Figure 8.)
For DPO4000B instruments, install the top support plate with the flange
toward the front of the enclosure so that the “DPO4000B” stamping on the
plate is visible.
For DPO5000 instruments, install the top support plate with the flange toward
the back of the enclosure.

Installation Instructions
This completes the installation of the standard rack-adapter hardware included in
this kit. The instrument is now ready to mount in a fixed location, to the front rails
of a standard instrument rack.
To mount the instrument in a fixed location, proceed to Finishing the Installation.
(See page 21, Finishing the Installation.)
If you require the instrument to slide in and out of the instrument rack, order the
optional slide assembly kit and use the instructions that follow. (See page 14,
Mount the Track Hardware (Optional).)
RMD5000 Rackmount Kit Instructions 13

Installation Instructions
Mount the Track Hardware
(Optional)
Install the optional slide assembly kit as follows:
1. Remove the front section of each of the two tracks. (See Figure 10.)
Figure 10: Preparing the tracks for mounting
2. Install the front left- and right-side track sections on the instrument using four
6-32 x 0.250 inch pan head T-15 TORX-drive screws tightened to 8 in-lb.
(See Figure 11.)
Figure 11: Installing the left- and right-side track sections
14 RMD5000 Rackmount Kit Instructions

Installation Instructions
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. (See Figure 12.) If the button latches are not oriented correctly
the instrument could slide from the rack, which could cause personal injury or
damage to the instrument.
Figure 12: Track orientation
This completes the installation of the slide hardware to the instrument. To
complete the installation, proceed to: Rackmount the Rack- Adapted Instrument.
(See page 16.)
RMD5000 Rackmount Kit Instructions 15

Installation Instructions
Rackmount the Rack-Adapted Instrument
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.
Install Track Assembly and
Instrument into the Rack
Equipment Required: One screwdriver handle, one number two PoziDriv tip,
and one torque driver.
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.
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.
1. Assemble the slide-out track:
a. Measure the distance between the front and rear rail of the equipment rack.
16 RMD5000 Rackmount Kit Instructions

Installation Instructions
Figure 13: Slide-out track assemblies
b. Align the rear bracket to the right slide-out track as shown. (See
Figure 13.) 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.

Installation Instructions
2. Mount the slide-out track assemblies, using the slide drawer hardware listed
in the kit parts list:
a. Select the mounting position in rack: Select two 0.5 inch-spaced holes in
the front rail. Verify that the 4.36 inch and 10.500 inch clearances exist
relative to those mounting holes. (See Figure 14.)
