1780R-Series Service Manual
To install the instrument in the rack: First remove the four securing screws and
take the instrument out of the rack-mounting cabinet. (All 1780R-Series
instruments are shipped in the rack-mounting cabinet to provide extra shipping
protection.) Once the instrument is out of the cabinet, mount the front of the
cabinet in the rack, using four 10–32 TORXR screws. Cabinet front slots are
spaced, and wide enough, to accommodate standard racks. Next, mount the
adjustable brackets to the rear rack section. See Figure 2–10 for bracket
dimensions. Then mount the adjustable brackets to the rack-mount cabinet using
four 10–32 TORXR screws, four number 10 flat washers, and the nut bars. See
Figure 2–11 for more assembly detail. Finally, re-install the four 6–32 screws
that secure the instrument to the rack-mounting cabinet. See Figure 2–8.
