Installation

Note: The VSER-RPU-SYS is compatible with V2H124-24 and V2H124-24T only.

The RPS may be placed on a desktop or mounted in a rack.

Caution: DO NOT place the RPS on the floor as the case is not waterproof. It is recommended that this RPS be installed in a network equipment rack.

Selecting a Site

RPS units can be mounted in a standard 19-inch equipment rack or on a flat surface. Be sure to follow the guidelines below when choosing a location.

•The site should:

•be at the center of all the devices you want to link and near a power outlet.

•be able to maintain its temperature within 0 to 40 °C (32 to 104 °F) and its humidity within 5% to 95%, non-condensing

•provide adequate space (approximately two inches) on all sides for proper air flow

•be accessible for installing, cabling and maintaining the devices

•allow the status LEDs to be clearly visible

•Make sure that a separate grounded power outlet that provides 100 to 240 VAC, 50-60 Hz, is within 2.44 m (8 feet) of each device and is powered from an independent circuit breaker. As with any equipment, using a filter or surge suppressor is recommended.

Equipment Checklist

After unpacking the RPS, check the contents to be sure you have received all the components. Then, before beginning the installation, be sure you have all other necessary installation equipment.
