Rack-mount the power supply
The power supply can be mounted in a standard 19- inch
rack cabinet using one of three optional kits available. A
rack- mounting kit for a single instrument is available as
Option 1CM (5063- 9243). Installation instructions and
hardware are included with each rack- mounting kit. Any
Agilent System II instrument of the same size can be
rack- mounted beside the Agilent E3632A power supply.
