Installing an EPS-LD External Power Supply
The EPS-LD power supply can be mounted in a rack or placed free-standing on a table. You can
position the EPS-LD facing either the front or the back of the rack. For this reason, each unit has two
sets of mounting holes on each side. Extreme Networks recommends that you position the EPS-LD so
that the power output connectors on the EPS-LD unit are on the same side as the external connector on
the connecting switch.
CAUTION
Do not use the rack-mount brackets to suspend the EPS-LD from under a table or desk, or to attach the
unit to a wall.
NOTE
An AC power cord is not provided with the EPS-LD power supply. See “Power Cord Requirements for
AC-Powered Switches and AC Power Supplies” on page 500 for information about selecting a power cord.
Rack-mounting the EPS-LD Power Supply
NOTE
When installing an EPS-LD in a rack, make sure air vents are not restricted. Allow for elevated ambient
operating temperatures when the EPS-LD is installed adjacent to other equipment. Be sure you mount the
equipment in the rack so that the load is evenly distributed.
To rack-mount each EPS-LD unit:
1 Place the EPS-LD unit upright on a stable surface, with the side you want to face to the front of the
switch toward you.
2 Remove the mounting bracket kit from the packaging.
3 Attach the mounting brackets as follows:
a Place a mounting bracket over the mounting holes on one side of the unit (see Figure 247 ).
b Insert the provided screws and fully tighten them using a screwdriver.
