3 - Installation

Location

The outline diagram in figure 3-1 gives the dimensions of your dc source. The dc source must be installed in a location that allows sufficient space at the sides and back of the unit for adequate air circulation (see Bench Operation).

Bench Operation

A fan cools the dc source by drawing air in through the sides and exhausting it out the back. Minimum clearances for bench operation are 1 inch (25 mm) along the sides. Do not block the fan exhaust at the rear of the unit.

Rack Mounting

The dc source can be mounted in a standard 19-inch rack panel or cabinet. Table 2-1 documents the HP part numbers for the various rack mounting options that are available for the dc source. Installation instructions are included with each rack mount option.

NOTE: Support rails or an instrument shelf is required when rack mounting units.
