To install an instrument

Step

Notes

1 Slide the instrument gently into the rack.

2 Insert the screws in the rack ears.

Most cables are fairly easy to remove and
reconnect and have no special
considerations (besides making sure you
put the cables back in the right place).

Semirigid cables require more care,
especially when reconnecting them. Make
sure all semirigid cables, on the front and
back of an instrument are fully
disconnected before removing the unit.

3 To reconnect the semirigid cables, carefully

align them before you insert the male
connector.

Do not insert the male pin in at an angle or
you will damage the female connector. RF
connector center pins are very delicate,
and if damaged must be replaced. System
performance may be greatly impaired if
there is a bad RF connector.

4 Turn on system power and restart the system

computer if necessary.
