Location, Mounting, and Ventilation
Use the power supply in rack-mounted or benchtop applications.
Rack
Mounting
The power supply is designed to fit in a standard 19 in. (483 mm) equipment rack.
To install:
1. Use the rack mount brackets at either side of the front panel to install the power
supply in a rack.
2. Provide adequate support for the rear of the unit without obstructing the
ventilation inlets on the sides of the unit. Use a support bar at the rear of the unit.
Follow the manufacturer's instructions to install the support bar.
To install the power supply with rack mount slides, use a commercially–available
slide kit. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions to install the slides. Add a 1/8 in.
(3.0 mm) spacer between the chassis and the slides.
Ventilation Whether you place the power supply in a rack or on a bench, allow cooling air to
reach the ventilation inlets on the sides of the unit and allow 4 in. (10 cm) of
unrestricted air space at the rear of the unit for the fan exhaust. Any ventilation space
at the top and bottom of the supply will further lower internal operating
temperatures.
Check page 32 for the operating ambient temperature range and the operating
altitude specification.
WARNING
Ensure that any mounting screws do not penetrate more than 1/8 in. (3.0 mm)
into the sides of the unit.
