The Tektronix K475 Workstation Tower requires some assembly. This manual tells how to assemble and use the tower. You can assemble the K475 Workstation Tower by yourself, but it is easier if you have another person to help you. You will need a large flat area to assemble the tower. The area should be level and large enough to move the various parts into place.
