HInstalling the Adapted Instrument
HReplaceable Parts
The 016Ć1166Ć00 Rack Adapter Kit provides all the necessary hardware to
prepare your instrument or mounting into an equipment rack (see Figure 1).
Your rackmounted instrument will meet all electrical and environmental
characteristics, with the exception o dynamics, stated in the instrument
manual when mounted as described in this instruction sheet.
I you use mounting methods other than those described in these proceĆ
dures, the instrument may not meet the stated environmental characterisĆ
tics.
Figure 2 is a dimensional drawing showing the assembled rack adapter and
instrument. At least 7 inches (178 mm) o vertical space is required to mount
the instrument (with the attached adapter) into an equipment rack.
The minimum width between the le tĆ and rightĆ ront rails in the equipment
rack must be 17.6 inches (448 mm). Total depth o the equipment rack must
be at least 20 inches (508 mm). These clearances provide su icient space
or air circulation and accommodate the power cord and mounting hardĆ
ware.
