VertiV™ rack mount power supply unit
Quick Installation Guide
Before installing the Vertiv™ rack
mount power supply unit (RMPSU),
ensure the following:
• You must have at least a single 1U
(19 in.) rack slot with one or two
power inputs.
• For devices that require a 12 VDC
power supply, you must have a 2 m
link cable for installation.
• For a device that requires a 5 VDC
power supply, you must have a small
converter module positioned close to
the device being powered.
1. Rack mounting the RMPSU
Slide the appliance into the vacant
1U space within a rack and secure
each pre-installed bracket to the
rack using two screws per side.
2. Installing the elongated rack
bracket (optional)
Place the elongated bracket on the
rack, align the screw holes with the
rack and fasten it in place with the
supplied screws.
