Installing the VSU-10000

Chapter 2

Installing the VSU-10000

This chapter provides instructions for the physical installation of the 
VSU-10000, including rack mounting, placement, and connection to the 
network.

Installing the Power Supply Modules

The VSU-10000 power supply modules are shipped outside the unit. To install 
the power supply modules, refer to Figure 2-1 and perform the following steps:

1.

Remove the two power supply modules from their shipping containers.

NOTE:  The power supply modules feature autoranging of the source AC line 
voltage, thus eliminating the need for a voltage selector switch.

2.

Slide each power supply module into the enclosure and press firmly on the 
front of the unit to securely seat the unit. The black spring-loaded retaining 
clip should snap when the power supply is locked into place.

3.

Set the ON/OFF (I/O) switch of each power supply module to the ON 
position.

Physical Installation 

The VSU-10000 can be placed on a desktop or mounted in a rack.

Desktop

To install on a desktop, allow sufficient depth in the rear for cabling and on the 
sides for ventilation flow.
