To remove an instrument from a rack
Step Notes
1Turn off system power, but leave the system
computer turned on.
•If you do plan to turn computer power off
for any reason, have the computer system
administrator:
•Shut down all running software.
•Shut down the computer.
2Read “General Procedures and Techniques”,
then disconnect all cables on the front and on
the rear panel.
•Most cables are fairly easy to remove and
reconnect, and have no special
considerations (besides making sure you
put the cables back in the right place).
•Semirigid cables require more care,
especially when reconnecting them. Make
sure all semirigid cables, on the front and
back of an instrument are fully
disconnected before removing the unit.
3When all cables are disconnected (including
the power cord), remove the screws in the
instrument’s rack “ears” that hold it in the
rack.
4Slide the instrument out. •If you feel any resistance when attempting
to pull the instrument out, STOP! Look
inside the cabinet and carefully examine
all surrounding cables. Make sure all
cables are fully disconnected.
