Location, Mounting, and Ventilation

Use the power supply in rack-mounted applications only. The power supply is designed to fit in a standard 19 in. (483mm) equipment rack.

Mounting

WARNING- High Energy and High Voltage

Ensure that the 8-32 rack mounting screws do not extend more than 1/8 in. (3.0mm) into the sides of the power supply.

To install the power supply in an equipment rack:

1.Open the box containing the unit. See Figure 2.2.

2.With the help of at least one other person, lift the unit out of its package and slide it into an empty space in a mounting rack equipped with rails that are rated to support the unit’s weight. See Figure 2.3.

On 12000 Watt units, remove the temporary lifting handles before installing the unit in a rack.

CAUTION

The power supply is too heavy for one person to safely lift and mount. To avoid injury, ask a co-worker for assistance.

3.While your assistant(s) holds the unit steady, fasten it to the rack by inserting bolts through the mounting brackets on either side of the front panel and securing them with a washer and nut.

4.The front panel mounting brackets are designed to prevent the unit from sliding out of the rack, not to support its full weight. Provide adequate support for the rear of the unit without obstructing the ventilation inlets. Use slide rails as illustrated in Figure 2.3 or slide brackets attached to the 8-32 mounting holes on each side of the unit. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions to install rails or slides.
