Site Requirements
Be sure to observe these requirements as you determine where to place the RPS1000:
For proper operation, where you locate the RPS1000 is extremely important. If the equipment is
placed too close together, the ventilation is inadequate, and panels are inaccessible, malfunctions
and shutdowns might result, and maintenance will be difficult.
Consider this information when you plan the location of the chassis:
• Provide for access to both the front and rear panels of the RPS1000.
• Make sure that the room where the RPS1000 operates has adequate ventilation. Ambient
air temperature might not cool equipment to acceptable operating temperatures without
adequate ventilation. See the RPS1000—Business Series 380W RPS Quick Installation
Guide for temperature requirements.
