Installation

Mounting the Power System

Location and Environment

Data Power Solutions (rack-mounted and desktop versions) meet the safety and fire enclosure requirements (as specified in AS/NZS 60950.1, EN 60950-1, IEC 60950-1 and UL 60950-1).

Rack-Mounted Versions: APS3-05X and APS6-05X series 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 power systems may be positioned on any surface that supports the weight 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 the DC power system may cause premature failure. In dusty environments filter the ventilation air entering the equipment room. Ensure regular cleaning of the air filters.

VRLA lead acid batteries can emit explosive gases and must be installed with adequate ventilation. Refer to the battery manufacturer or supplier for advice on minimum ventilation levels, or refer to Application Note AN0080 available from Eaton.

Clearance Requirements

All Data Power Solutions (rack-mounted and desktop versions) require the following minimum clearances:

Front and Rear Clearance – 50 mm (2”) from walls and other equipment, required for optimum system cooling and access.

Top and Bottom Clearance – None

Rack Installation (rack-mounted versions only)

" APS3-05X and APS6-05X power systems come pre-assembled with two 19-inch rack-mounting brackets.

# The two rack-mounting brackets can be moved backwards and lined up with alternative bracket-mounting holes, to provide greater mounting flexibility. Ensure the same screws are used.
