Recommended installation tools
Use a screwdriver handle with No. 2 Phillips screw tip or a No. 2 Phillips screwdriver to install your rackmount kit.
Warranted characteristics
When the instrument is installed according to the instructions in this document, the rackmounted instrument meets all warranted requirements listed in the instrument specification. Instruments mounted using methods other than those described in these instructions might not meet their warranted requirements.
For tables of the warranted characteristics, see Specifications in the specification and performance verification manual that applies to your instrument model.
 | CAUTION:The rack is more susceptible to tipping when the instrument is installed. To prevent the rack from tipping, ensure that the rack is stable before accessing rear panel of the instrument. |
The ambient temperature inside the instrument rack will vary depending on the location of the instrument within the instrument rack. Tektronix recommends that you measure the ambient temperature in the desired rack location before you install the instrument to ensure the operating temperature does not exceed the rated ambient temperature limit. If necessary, refer to the Environmental Specifications in your product documentation for the operating temperature limits.
| CAUTION:The instrument might be damaged due to overheating. When installing multiple instruments in an instrument rack, the ambient temperature may go up. You assume the responsibility to provide adequate cooling to meet the ambient temperature requirements listed in the specifications. |
Clearance requirements
The rack in which the individual instrument is mounted must provide the following clearance requirements.
- At least 222 mm (8.75 in) of vertical space or 5 RU (rack units) of vertical space.
- A minimum inside depth of at least 14 mm (0.55 in) depth (from rack mounting ear to back of instrument).
- A minimum external clearance of at least 34 mm (1.34 in) frontwards from rack mounting ear.
- Airflow enters from underneath the instrument and exits at the top of the instrument. The rack mount bracket ensures clearance for adequate airflow.
- No additional clearance is needed on the left or right sides of the instrument for adequate airflow.
| CAUTION:Adhering to these requirements mounts the rack-adapted instrument with enough clearance for air circulation and accommodation of the power cord and mounting hardware. Failure to provide these clearances can result in overheating and can cause the instrument to operate improperly or fail. |
Install the rackmount on the instrument
Install the 2-RK rackmount onto the back of your 2 Series MSO instrument using the following instructions.
