HP 5300A - Digital Recorder Output; Portable Operation

b. Turn the 5300A right-side up with front-
panel facing you (ON-OFF-SAMPLE RATE on left
side) and slide the side-casting latches all the way to
the rear of the unit. The latch handles must be
pressed gently away from the center of the unit to
“unlock” them before sliding rearward.
c. With latch handles fully extended rearward,
mate the 5300A to the plug-on by placing the 5300A
on top of the plug-on.
d. With the latches fully extended rearward and
the 5300A properly positioned on the plug-on, an
equal space should be visible (about 1/8-inch wide)
where castings meet.
In the following step, DO NOT force
latches forward; if difficulty is encoun-
tered, check latches and castings for
obstructions.
e. Press down gently on top of 5300A casting and
push the left and right latches forward. Castings will
be brought together.
f. Check the position of the latches to ensure
that castings are properly mated and latched. When
properly latched, latches should not protrude past
rear-edge of casting and there should be a paper-thin
space between plug-on and 5300A.
g. To separate the 5300A from the plug-on, pull
the two-side casting latches fully rearward, (again it
is necessary to press the latch handles gently away
from the center of the instrument to unlock them).
h. When latches are fully extended rearward,
the 5300A and plug-on castings should be separated
by about 1/8-inch.
i. Lift 5300A gently away from plug-on.
