Mechanical Assembly
The Data Shelf mounts into a standard 19-inch cabinet and requires 7 inches of vertical panel
space.
The 19-inch Data Shelf also fits into a 23-inch cabinet. This installation requires the rack-
mounting brackets to be removed and reinstalled in the reversed position, so the wider tabs are
used for mounting to the cabinet.
ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION
All power connections are made at the back panel of the Data Shelf.
AC Power (RM16M VAC-R Data Shelf)
Power for the AC version of the Data Shelf (RM16M VAC) is supplied to the power modules
through a separate AC power cord.
One power module is sufficient to power all 16 slots. If only one power source is available, it
can be connected to either input 1 or 2.
After the power module is installed, insert the power cord into the power module socket on the
back of the Data Shelf.
To apply power to the module, plug the opposite end of the power cord into a standard 115/220
VAC grounded wall socket.
Redundant AC Power
Power for the redundant AC version of the Data Shelf (RM16M VAC-R) is supplied to the
power modules through separate AC power cords (see figure below).
After the power modules are installed, insert the power cords into the power module sockets on
the back of the Data Shelf.
To apply power to the modules, plug the opposite ends of the power cords into standard 115/220
VAC grounded wall sockets.
In the event of a power source failure or a power supply module failing, the enclosure will
remain online using the alternate source.
