Installation in a Server Rack

To install a W-3000 Series Controllers controller into a 19-inch (48.26 cm) Server rack system:

Note: The following instructions describe the installation of your controller in a rack with unthreaded, square holes. For a rack with unthreaded, round holes, use the provided clip nuts instead.

1.Place a rack mount bracket over the mounting holes on one side of the controller (see Figure 1).

2.Secure the bracket to the controller using three 6-32 x 1/4” phillips head screws and a suitable screwdriver.

3.Repeat these steps on the opposite side of the controller.

4.Install the four cage nuts.

a.Begin by inserting the lower lip of the cage but over the square opeing in the back of the rail.

b.Insert the small end of the cage-nut installation tool through the opening in the rail (from the front), and hook the tool over the top lip of the cage nut.

c.Push the cage nut in towards the rail while rotating the tool up and pulling the tool back toward you until the top lip of the cage nut snaps into position.

5.Mount the controller within your organization’s rack system using four M6 x 20mm phillips head screws and suitable screwdriver.

6.Leave a minimum of four inches (10cm) of space on the left and right side of the unit for proper air flow and ventilation (see Figure 3).

7.Leave additional space in front and back of the unit to access power cords, network cables, and LED status indicators (see Figure 3).

8.Connect the AC power cord (country-specific) to the rear of the unit.

9.Plug the opposite end of the power cord into an electrical outlet to power the controller.

Note: W-3000 Series Controllers do not have a power on/off switch. Power to the unit is controlled by inserting (or unplugging) the power cord plug into your electric outlet.
