Keysight Y1276A Advanced Cooling Spacer Kit for M9484C and Related Chassis Installation Note Procedure
General Rack Mounting Guidelines
In rack mounting the chassis, follow these guidelines:
-Always begin installing the chassis and heavy instruments at the bottom of
the rack and work up. This maintains a lower center of gravity and reduces the
possibility of the rack tipping.
-Anti-tipping feet, if available with the rack, should always be extended.
-The heaviest instrument or chassis should always be mounted at the bottom
of the rack.
-For maximum cooling and optimum rack thermal efficiency, place the
instrument or chassis with the greatest power consumption towards the top of
the rack. This promotes efficient cooling since heat rises when placed nearer
to the top of the rack, high power instruments will not unnecessarily heat
other instruments. However, in doing this, do not violate the guideline that
the heaviest instruments should be placed at the bottom of the rack.
-If instruments or modules in the chassis are consuming maximum power, 1U
of rack space is required for ventilation above the Keysight PXIe chassis.
Procedure
Tools Required: #1 and #2 Phillips screwdriver, Torx T10 Screwdriver
1Refer to Figure 1 on page 3. Remove four (4) M3 screws from the chassis top
cover and Chassis Fan Tray of the chassis.
To prevent injury during rack mounting, the chassis should
be empty and two people should lift it into the rack.
Do not stand the chassis on its side; the side handles may cause
the chassis to tip over.
