Location, Mounting, and Ventilation
You may use the 500 watt power supply in rack-mounted or in benchtop
applications.
Rack
Mounting
The power supply is designed to fill 1/4 of a standard 19 in. (483 mm) equipment
rack.
Units can be combined with 300 watt and 60 watt series models for customer
applications. Contact the manufacturer about the RM (Rack Mount Kit) option.
Ventilation Whether operating the power supply in a rack or on a bench, allow cooling air to
reach the ventilation inlets on the bottom and sides of the unit. Ensure that
rack-mounted units have 1 U (1.75 in./44.5 mm) between units. Ventilation space at
the top and bottom, or sides of the power supply is essential for proper operation.
See “Environmental Specifications” on page 21, for the operating ambient
temperature range and the operating altitude specification.
WARNING
Ensure that any mounting screws do not penetrate more than 1/8 in. (3.0 mm)
into the bottom and/or back of the unit
