Section 1 – Installation & Operation

The following pages cover the installation of the RC Series power supplies.

1.1 Mounting the Rackmount Supply into a Standard 19" Rack

Installation and Operation

Use the following procedure when mounting an RC series
supply into a standard EIA 19" equipment rack.

1. Ensure any internal configuration voltage selection and
fault detection settings are complete before mounting.
See Section 1.3 of this manual for more information.

2. Securely mount the included ears to the enclosure sides
using the eight included 6-32 countersunk screws (four
per ear).

3. Locate the rack-mounting holes in the ears of the en­closure. (Figure 1)

4. Slide the enclosure into an open 2U location in the rack

5. Center the enclosure in the rack and secure with the
four 10-32 x 3/4" screws provided.

i Use rails or other appropriate support for heavy en-

closures. Keep heavier components near the bottom of
the rack to reduce the risk of toppling of a top-heavy rack.

i Ensure adequate spacing between the systems for

proper ventilation. If the internal temperature of the rack
is high, a ventilation fan for the rack should be considered.
