Installation Instructions Rackmount the Rack-Adapted Instrument using rack slides If you ordered the optional rackmount slides, 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.
