First task is to get the 8505 set into a rack.? I have a rack to put it in, but I just realized that the gear only has handles and not rack flanges.? :(
*Anyone have some extra rack mount flanges for sale?*
For a 8501a, 8503a, and/or a 8505a?
I don't know the PNs yet, but I will find them in the coming days.
Don't worry too much about the part numbers for those rack mount ears, handles, etc. They are compatible across (nearly) everything that uses the System II enclosures, like the components of an 8505A. Just match the height. In an 8505A system, the RF and display sections are each 3U, and the storage/normalizer and S-parameter test set sections are each 2U. The mounting accessories (ears, handles, feet) are the same as just about everything else that uses a System II enclosure.
