Inspecting the Equipment and Reporting Damage
• Unpack the APS dc power system and inspect it carefully for possible damage that may have occurred while
in transit.
• Next, check the equipment against the packing list (supplied with the equipment) and ensure that you have
received the correct type of Access Power Rectifiers (either APR48 or APU48).
• Report any damage or incorrect shipment immediately, using a completed Equipment Incident Report (at the
back of this guide) to supply all relevant details. Fax the completed form to your local Eaton dc product
representative.
• Keep the original packaging. You will need it if any equipment needs to be returned to your local Eaton dc
product representative.
Installation
Mounting the APS DC Power System
Location and Environment
APS dc power systems (rack-mounted and desktop versions) meet the safety and fire
enclosure requirements (as specified in IEC 60950-1, UL 60950-1, EN 60950-1 and AS/NZS
60950.1).
• Rack-Mounted Versions: APS3-05X and APS6-05X series dc power systems may be
mounted in 19-inch wide host equipment racks (enclosed or open type) securely bolted
to the floor.
• Desktop Versions: APS3-06X series dc power systems may be positioned on any surface
that supports the weight (12kg/26lb) of the power system.
The location must provide adequate airflow around the unit, (as per Clearance Requirements
below) in an atmosphere free from excessive dust, corrosive fumes, or conductive
contaminants.
Dust build-up within APS dc power systems may cause premature failure. In dusty
environments, either install the power system in a sealed and air-conditioned equipment
room, or provide fan assisted filtered air to create a positive pressure environment inside the
equipment room. Both options require regular cleaning of the air filters.
Important Notes for Rack Mounted Systems
• If this dc power system is installed in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly ensure that the
ambient temperature is less than 40°C.
• Ensure that the air flow is not restricted.
• Ensure that the system's weight is adequately and evenly supported.
• Take note of the maximum ac current stated on the nameplate. Ensure that the ac supply is
correctly rated.
• Ensure that reliable earthing is maintained. Carefully check earth continuity from the branch
circuit to the dc power system.
