The sli de-out trac ks, with existing hardware supplied, will conve nientl y mo u nt in any rack wit h thefront and rear rails spaced f rom 10 1/2 inches to 24 1/2 i nches .

Mounting the Slide Tracks. Locate t he proper rack holes for mounting as shown in Fig . 2-6. Notice that the hole spacing in the racks varies. When installing the slides i η the Ε1 Α type racks, make certain the slides are attached tot he 1/2-inch spaced holes . Figure 2-6also shows details for determini ng position of t he slides i n the rack. Mount t he rails usi ng enclosed hardware as shown in Figs. 2-7 and 2-8. Fig ures2-8B and Cshow rail-mounting detailsfor deep and s hallow racks. Make s urethestationary sections are horizontally alig n ed sot hey ar e level and parallel wit h eac h ot her.

Installing the TM 5006, Option 10, in the Rack Slides. Make certain all plug-ins are removed from the power module, Pull the slide-out trac k intermediate sectio ns out as far as t hey will go . See Fig . 2-9. Inse rt the i nstrument chassis sectio ns i nto the intermediate section and push t he inst rument forward until t he instrument chassis sec- tion loc ks i nto the intermediate sectio n. Now press both butto ns protruding from t he stop-latc h holes i n t he i nte rmediate sectio ns while pu s hii ng t he instrument. The i nstrument can now be pushed nto t he rac k, ca binet, or

console. The latches holding t he inte rmediate sections to t he stationary sectio ns are automaticall y operated by t he instru ment as it is pushed into t he rack or cabi net . The quic k-release latches automaticall y engage the rack-latchholes in the stationary sections of the rails as t he instr ument is pushed fully i nto the rack.

Removing the I nstrument. R emove all pl ug-i ns from power module. Unscrew the two thumb screws 0-t the top of the front panel, Pull t he rectang u la r latc hes on both sides of the front panel . Using the latc hes pull the instrume nt from the enclosure until the sli de intermediate sectio ns latch wit h the instrument sections and the stationary sectio ns. The i nstrument is firml y held in this position. To completely removet he i nstrument, press both release-latc h buttons visi ble in the stop-latch holes and carefully slide the instrument from the rack or ca bi net.

R ack Adjustments . After installing the i nstrument ί η the rack, bi nding in the rack slides may occur if the sli des are not properl y adj usted. Slide t he i nstr ument f rom the rack until t he front panel is about 10 i nc hes from thefront of the rack. Slig htly loosen the screws hol di ng the right and left tracks to the front rails. Allow the tracks to seek their normal positio n. R etighten the screws and chec k the trac ks for smoot h operation by slidi ng t he i nstrument in and out of the rack.
