2.5 Rack Installation

Agilent B2900A series can be mounted in a 19-inch EIA rack cabinet. It is designed to fit

in two rack-units (2U) of space.

Remove the handle and the front and rear rubber bumpers before rack mounting the

B2900A. Do not block the air intake at the sides and the exhaust at the rear of the B2900A.

1. To Remove the Bumper

Stretch a corner of the rubber bumper and slide it off.

2. To Remove the Handle

a. Grasp the handle by the sides and pull outward. This allows you to rotate it.

b. Rotate the handle to a vertical position. Then put the instrument horizontally.

c. Pull outward and then lift the handle upward.

CAUTION To put the handle back again, be careful about its direction. Putting it in the wrong

direction may damage it.

3. Attach Rack mount kit. Be sure to use the support rails in the rack cabinet.

To rack mount a single instrument, Order an option 1CM on the B2900A series or the

Agilent 34190A Rack mount Kit (5063-9240).

To rack mount two instruments side-by-side, order the Agilent 34194A Dual lock-link

kit (5061-8769) and the 34191A 2U Dual flange kit (5063-9212).

CAUTION In order to prevent overheating, do not block the flow of air into or out of the instrument.

Be sure to allow enough clearance at the rear, sides, and bottom of the instrument to permit

adequate internal air flow.
