S6 RECEIVER TABLETOP CONFIGURATION
PART # 310 122 100
The standard S6 receiver is a stand-alone tabletop unit that can
be mounted directly to any horizontal surface. Additionally, we
offer two S6 receivers with a 15” or 20” platform with four rubber
feet that can safely sit on top of any surface. The rubber feet
can be removed to enable a permanent tabletop mount.
RECEIVER MOUNTING
1. Drill four thru holes in a mounting surface for a #8 screw at the locations shown in Figure A.
2. Attach the S6 receiver to the tabletop with #8-32 screws and washers. Hardware is included with the rear cover, Part # 310 113 431.
See Table 1 to determine the proper screw length for your table.

Slides can be used with the S6 receiver with 15" or 20"platform (Part
# 310 122 101/108). Choose your slide kit based on the distance from
rail to rail and verify that the slides will not interfere with the rack
enclosure. Each kit will support 180 lbs.
DETERMINE YOUR SLIDE KIT
1. Measure dimension A as shown in Figure A to determine the
proper slide kit.
NOTE: Make sure the slide length does not exceed dimensions A
plus B.
INSTALLATION
1. Install slides using manufacturer’s instructions. A hard copy is
included with the slide kit.
(www.accuride.com/Resources/pdf/3507-r4-0309.pdf)
2. Attach platform mounting brackets to slides (Figure B).
NOTE: The screws will overhang the bracket holes by 3/8". These
screws will also be used to mount an optional keyboard tray kit,
Part # 310 113 439.

Figure B. The platform mounting brackets are threaded, washers
and nuts will not need to be locked.

3. Remove the rubber feet.
4. Attach the S6 platform to the platform mounting brackets
(Figure C).
NOTE: If you are installing a cable tray or instrument
brackets, do not attach the platform until those
accessories are installed.
5. Pull the receiver out as far as possible. The slides will lock
in position. Push the blue tabs located on the middle
section of the slides (Figure D). Apply pressure to push the
receiver back in toward the rack. The smaller inner slides
move into the middle section, which should not move.
Push receiver until it backs into the rack. The mounting
screws can now be used.
ALWAYS SUPPORT THE RECEIVER AND
PLATFORM WITH THE MOST ROBUST (MIDDLE)
SECTION OF THE SLIDES. To ensure proper support
when extending the receiver and table away from
the rack, stop the receiver and platform at around 6” from the
rack. Reach around to the rear of the receiver to the slides
underneath on both sides. Manually extend the middle section
of the slides forward until fully underneath the platform. The
receiver and platform may then be extended while holding this
middle slide in place. If completed properly the middle section
of the slides will remain underneath the platform and offer the
strongest support.
6. Secure receiver to rack. See Rack Mount Conguration
section for rotation block removal.
Figure D. The slides will support 180 pounds, however VPC
recommends removing the ITA/Fixture when extending the slides for
wiring access and maintenance.
Figure C. Use the existing #8-32 at head screws, washers,
and hex nuts to secure the platform to the brackets.

RACK EXTENDER KIT, G12, 4" DEEP • PART # 310 113 430
The S6 is designed to easily t 19" standard racks when used in the slide
conguration. Although mounting rail dimensions are standardized, there
may be variances in the rack enclosure design. VPC offers a rack extender
kit for rails that are recessed more than 1". The Rack Extender Kit has a
maximum depth of 4".
TOOLS REQUIRED
5/32 Allen Wrench
Phillips Head Screwdriver
INSTALLATION
1. To determine if a Rack Extender Kit is needed, verify that the distance between the front of the rack enclosure and the rail is between
1" and 4" (Figure A).
2. Attach the mounting rack mating surface on the extender brackets to the recessed rail with the cap screws. Do not fully tighten until
the cover plate is attached.
3. Attach the cover to the brackets with the at head screws.
4. With the extender kit in place, secure the S6 receiver to the mating surface on the extender brackets with #10-32 cap screws.
NOTE: The #10-32 cap screws are provided with the S6 receiver.
Figure A. Rack Extender Kits are used when the rails are recessed more than 1".

INSTRUMENT BRACKET KIT • PART # 310 113 453
The instrument brackets mount to the inner slide and provide
maintenance access to the chassis and the instruments.
NOTE: This instrument bracket kit does not work with the 20”
or 24” slide kits.
TOOLS REQUIRED
5/32 Allen Wrench
Phillips Head Screwdriver
INSTALLATION
1. Depress the blue tab on the inner slide and remove.
2. Attach one of the brackets to the slide using three #8-32
button head screws. The left bracket assembly is shown in
Figure A.
3. Attach the remaining bracket to the other inner slide. If you
are also installing a cable tray, do so before reinstalling the
slides and attaching the plate. See Cable Tray Installation
instructions in this section.
Continued on next page...
Figure A. The brackets are identical parts and only the front two
holes on each bracket are designed to line up with the slides.
Figure B. The slots on the instrument brackets are designed to
accept a strap should you want to secure your chassis.

5. Reinstall the inner slides.
• Slide the left mid-section of the slide all the way out, you will feel it
lock into position.
• Feed the matching inner slide into position and ensure the inner
section rides into place with the roller bearings seated into the
groove.
• Push the inner slide in about 6-8 inches and then pull out the right
side. Slide the track of the mid-section over the right side of the
inner slide.
• Pull the slide out until the position matches the left side.
• Reach to the back of the middle slides and release the spring
locking mechanism (Figure C).
NOTE: At this time, both sides should be partially installed when it will
no longer proceed into the rack because the support tab on the
instrument brackets will hit the slide mounting bracket.
6. Rotate both instrument brackets inward so the support tabs
can pass the mounting brackets. Continue to push (install slides
simultaneously) into position. Remember to push the blue tabs
to allow the inner slide to continue to travel into the middle slide
section.
NOTE: The middle section will not go into the outer section until the
inner section has been fully installed into the middle section.
7. Tighten the slide mounting screws.
MAKE SURE ALL SCREW HEADS HAVE BEEN SECURELY
TIGHTENED. ONLY USE 8-32 BUTTON HEAD SCREWS.

CABLE TRAY ASSEMBLY • PART # 310 113 424
The cable tray is used for strain relief and cable
management. The horizontal and vertical anges provide
tie down options that allow you to bend and route your
cables as needed and also present a secure and reliable
way to protect your investment.
NOTE: The cable tray kit does not work with the 20” or 24”
slide kits.
CABLE TRAY INSTALLATION
1. Loosen the slide mounting screws by one turn.
2. Depress the blue tab and remove the inner slides.
3. Attach the cable tray to the slides with #8-32 screws as shown in Figure A.
4. Install the inner slides and cable tray assembly into the rack. See Instrument Bracket Installation instructions in this section for more
detail.
5. Tighten the slide mounting screws.
Figure A. The angled side of the cable tray should face the S6 receiver, and with shorter slide kits
the cable tray will sit below the lip of the instrument brackets.
