Installation
Model 8642A/B
Rack mounting information is provided with the rack mounting kit. If the kit was not ordered
with the instrument as an option, it may be ordered through the nearest Hewlett-Packard office.
For rack-mount kit part numbers, refer to page 1-4, paragraph 1-9, Options Available with the
Instrument, under Mechanical Options.
The Rack-Slide Kit enables service personnel to slide the Signal Generator away from the cabi­
net and service it at the operating site. Therefore, if you plan to take advantage of the On-Site
Service Strategy for the HP 8642A/B, we recommend that you use the Rack-Slide Kit to rack
mount the instrument. For instrument cabinet frames using metric hardware, the HP part n u m ­
ber is 0 8 6 4 2 - 8 0 0 5 9 . For instrument cabinet frames using English hardware, the HP part n u m ­
ber is 0 8 6 4 2 - 8 0 0 5 8 . (Note that if metric hardware is used, the rear panel of the instrument
mentions that fact.)
2 - 4 . STORAGE AND SHIPMENT
Environment
The instrument should be stored in a clean, dry environment. The following environmental
limitations apply to both storage and shipment:
Temperature - 5 5
C
C to + 7 5°C
Humidity 5% to 95% (maximum wet-bulb temperature = 40°C)
Altitude 1 5 300 meters (50 000 feet)
Packaging
Original Packaging. Containers and materials identical to those used in factory packaging are
available through Hewlett-Packard offices. If the instrument is being returned to Hewlett-
Packard for servicing, attach a tag indicating the type of service required, return address, model
number, and full serial number. Also mark the container FRAGILE to assure careful handling.
In any correspondence refer to the instrument by model number and full serial number.
Other Packaging. The following general instructions should be used for repackaging with com­
mercially available materials:
1. Wrap the instrument in heavy paper or plastic. (If shipping to a Hewlett-Packard office or
service center, attach a tag indicating the service required, return address, model number, and
full serial number.)
2. Use a strong shipping container. A double wall carton made of 2.4 MPa (350 psi) test
material is adequate.
3. Use enough shock-absorbing material (75 to 100 mm layer; 3 to 4 in.) around all sides of the
instrument to provide firm cushion and prevent movement in the container. Protect the
front panel with cardboard.
4. Seal the shipping container securely.
5. Mark the shipping container FRAGILE to ensure careful handling.
