Installation

Rack Mounting

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 (P/N 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.

Remove the front and rear bumpers before rack-mounting the power supply.

To remove the rubber bumper, stretch a corner and then slide it off.

To rack mount a single instrument, order adapter kit 5063-9243.
