Location, Mounting, and Ventilation
Use the power supply in rack-mounted applications only. The power supply is
designed to fit in a standard 19 in. (483mm) equipment rack.
Rack
Mounting
To install the power supply in an equipment rack:
1. Open the box containing the unit. See Figure 2.2.
2. With the help of at least one other person, lift the unit out of its package and slide
it into an empty space in a mounting rack equipped with rails that are rated to
support the unit’s weight. See Figure 2.3.
3. While your assistant(s) holds the unit steady, fasten it to the rack by inserting
bolts through the mounting brackets on either side of the front panel and securing
them with a washer and nut.
4. The front panel mounting brackets are designed to prevent the unit from sliding
out of the rack, not to support its full weight. Provide adequate support for the
rear of the unit without obstructing the ventilation inlets. Use slide rails as
illustrated in Figure 2.3 or slide brackets attached to the 8-32 mounting holes on
each side of the unit. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions to install rails or
slides.
WARNING- High Energy and High Voltage
Ensure that the 8-32 rack mounting screws do not extend more than 1/8 in. (3.0mm)
into the sides of the power supply.
!
CAUTION
The power supply is too heavy for one person to safely lift and mount. To avoid injury,
ask a co-worker for assistance.
