Location, Mounting, and Ventilation
Use the power supply in rack-mounted or in benchtop applications.
Rack Mounting
The power supply is designed to fit in a standard 19 in. (483 mm)
equipment rack.
To install the power supply in a rack:
1. Use the integral rack-mount ears at both sides 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.
Angle Bracket Mounting Rack mount slides are not suitable for the
1200 Watt unit, however, angle brackets are available from the
manufacturer.
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. (100 mm) 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 “Environmental Specification” on page A–10 for the operating
ambient temperature range and the operating altitude specification.
