Installing C2RPS-CHAS8 into the Rack

3.Pull the PSM out and remove it from the chassis.

4.Repeat steps 1 through 3 for each additional PSM you plan to remove.

Note: If you plan to remove and not replace a C2RPS-PSM, immediately reinstall coverplates over any empty power supply slots to prevent EMI leakage from the chassis.

To install a PSM, proceed as follows:

1.Align the PSM with the slot, then slide the PSM forward until its front panel is flush against the chassis front panel.

2.Fasten the PSM to the chassis using the captive screws.

3.Perform steps 1 and 2 for each PSM being replaced. When completed, proceed to Connecting the PSM Cables and AC Power Cords” on page 2‐6.

Installing C2RPS-CHAS8 into the Rack

To install the chassis into a 19‐inch rack, you need ten user‐supplied screws to fasten the chassis to the rack rails.

After installing the PSM(s) as described back in Installing C2RPS‐PSMs” on page 2‐2, rack mount the chassis as follows:

1.Refer to the installation guidelines (“Guidelines for Rackmount Installation” on page 2‐4).

2.Install the chassis into the rack (“Rack Mounting the Chassis” on page 2‐5).

3.Connect the PSM cables and AC power cords (“Connecting the PSM Cables and AC Power Cords” on page 2‐6).

Guidelines for Rackmount Installation

The installation site must be within reach of the network cabling and meet the requirements listed below:

Chassis placement close enough to connect the 2‐meter (6.6‐foot) PSM cables from the PSMs to the AC power source.

Up to eight three‐pronged power receptacles capable of delivering the current and voltage specified in C2RPS‐PSM Specifications” on page A‐2. Up to eight AC outlets on independently‐fused circuits must be within 182 centimeters (6 feet) from the installation site. If there is an AC power source failure, this will prevent the powering down of PSMs due to a single source power failure.

Power cords and type of outlet are dependent on the country. In the United States, one power cord with an NEMA 5‐15P plug is provided with each C2RPS‐PSM.
