Figure 8: Installation of rackmount assemblies
This completes the installation of the rack-adapter hardware to the instrument. To
complete the installation, do the following procedure: Rackmount the Rack-
Adapted Instrument.

Installation Instructions
16 TDS5000B Series (Option 1R) Rackmount Kit
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.

Installation Instructions
TDS5000B Series (Option 1R) Rackmount Kit 17
Equipment Required: One screwdriver handle (Item 1), one number two
PoziDriv 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.
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.
Procedure:
1. Assemble the slide-out track:
a. Measure the distance between the front and rear rail of the equipment
rack.
b. Align the rear bracket to the right slide-out track as shown in Figure 9.
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
front-rail to rear rail distance 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.
2. Mount the slide-out track assemblies, using the slide drawer hardware listed
in the kit parts list, Figure 3-4:
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 10 on page 19.
