[Test-Equipment] HP Rack Mounting Brackets

[Geoff Greer]

Hi,

  I've found that there are at least 2 types of rack ears for HP equipment.
The older type.the rack screw holes are very near the edge of the bracket,
the new style they are located much further in.  The don't interchange.  The
newer ones can come with and without handles.  All the older HP stuff I've
seen the rack handles seen were integral with the side rails of the unit.
I've had the best luck in finding handles on Ebay.  Check out 5060, 5061 and
5062 prefixes.

  Caution:  the above info is what I've discovered so far, your mileage may
vary.

Regards,
Geoff Greer
