Installation and Upgrading

Installing the Integrated Controller into an Equipment Rack

Use either the rack-mounting brackets (supplied with the NI-4000/3000/2000 controller) for

equipment rack installations. Remove the mounting brackets for flat surface installations.

Before completing the install process, it is recommended that you complete any firmware upgrade of the NetLinx Control Cards. This upgrade involves physically cycling power to the unit and can become cumbersome if the unit is already installed into a rack. Refer to the Upgrading the Controller and NXC Firmware section on page 49 for more detailed information.

1.Discharge the static electricity from your body by touching a grounded object.

2.Position and install the mounting brackets, as shown in FIG. 22, using the screws supplied with the unit. The mounting brackets can be rotated to accommodate your mounting needs.

Verify that the terminal end of the power cable is not connected to the a power supply before plugging in the 2-pin power connector.

5.Test the incoming wiring by connecting the Controller connectors to their terminal locations and applying power. Verify that the unit is receiving power and functioning properly to prevent repetition of the installation.

6.Disconnect the terminal end of the power cable from the connected power supply.
