Mounting the left
stationary
section
(with its
matched intermediate section, not shown
in illustrations
A
and B) to
the rack rails.
1. To mount the instrument directly
above or below
another
instrument in a cabinet
rack,
select the appropriate
holes in the front
rack
rails
for
the stationary sections,
using Fig.
6-2
as a
guide.
2.
Mount
the
stationary slide-out
track sections to the
front rack
rails
using
either of these
methods:
(a) If the front
flanges of the stationary sections are to
be mounted behind
the front rails (rails are countersunk or
not tapped), mount
the stationary sections as
shown
in Fig.
6-1A right
illustration.
(b) If
the front
flanges of the stationary
sections are to
be
mounted in
front of
the
front
rails (rails are tapped for
10-32
screws),
mount the stationary
sections
as
shown
in
Fig.
6-1 B right illustration.
To provide
increased bearing
surface for
the screw head
to securely fasten
the
front
flange to the rail,
a flat washer
(not supplied)
may
be added
under
the screw head.
Flowever,
consider that when this
mounting method
is used, the front panel will
not fit flush
against the front rail
because of the stationary
section and
washer
thickness. If
a flush fit is preferred, method
2
(a)
should
be used.
3.
Mount the stationary slide-out
sections to
the rear
rack
rails
using
either of
these
methods:
(a) If the rear
rack
rail holes are not tapped to accept
10-32
machine screws, mount the left stationary section
