6. Remove the mainframe feet by lifting the tabs and sliding the feet
towards the center of the mainframe.
7. With one person on each side of the mainframe, lift the mainframe
onto the support rails. Slide the mainframe into the rack until the rack
mount adapter flanges are against the rack's vertical rails. Secure the
mainframe to the rack using the adapter dress screws.
To prevent injury during rack mounting, the mainframe should
be empty and two people should lift the mainframe into the
rack.
This section contains instructions for mounting the HP E8400A mainframe
in an EIA cabinet using the rack slide kit (p/n 1494-0411). The rack slide kit,
which is used with either the Standard Adapter kit (p/n E8400-80923) or the
VXIplug&play Compliant kit (p/n E8400-80925), allows you to extend the
mainframe from the cabinet for easier access to installed instruments.
The following procedures apply to the adapter kits listed above, with
adapter-specific information noted where necessary. The rack slide kit is not
used with the flush mount adapter kit (p/n E8400-80924)
1. Attach the handles to the standard adapters using the m5x10 flat head
screws (Figure 2-5). Handles are included only with the HP E8400A
Standard Adapter Kit.
