To remove an instrument from a rack

Step

Notes

1 Turn off system power, but leave the system

computer turned on.

•

If you do plan to turn computer power off
for any reason, have the computer system
administrator:

•

Shut down all running software.

•

Shut down the computer.

2 Read “General Procedures and Techniques”,

then disconnect all cables on the front and on
the rear panel.

•

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 When all cables are disconnected (including

the power cord), remove the screws in the
instrument’s rack “ears” that hold it in the
rack.

4 Slide the instrument out.

•

If you feel any resistance when attempting
to pull the instrument out, STOP! Look
inside the cabinet and carefully examine
all surrounding cables. Make sure all
cables are fully disconnected.
