## Compatibility & Integration
The 3499A-1CM mounts directly to the Keysight 3499A mainframe, which serves as the control and switching hub for modular test systems. The kit’s design accounts for the standard form factor of the 3499A platform. Related rack mount solutions exist for other mainframe series, including the 3499B, though those require their respective dedicated kits.
Installation requires removal of the instrument’s bottom feet before mounting to the rack rails. The flanged mounting system positions the mainframe at the proper depth and height within the rack structure. For deployments requiring front-panel handles or other accessibility features, alternative variants are available.
