Installation
Installing the Rack-Mounted GridMaster
Controller
Rack-mounted GridMaster controllers can be installed in
a standard 1U slot in a 19-inch (483-mm) equipment rack.
To install the GridMaster controller into an equipment
rack:
STEP 1.
Use best practices for installing rack equipment
by installing the heaviest equipment on the
bottom of the rack. On taller racks, this prevents
the equipment rack from becoming top heavy.
The GridMaster controller is lightweight at only
8 lbs (3.6 kg) and can be installed toward the top
of the rack.
STEP 2.
Slide the microgrid controller into a 1U slot and
use the appropriately sized mounting screws
(10-32, 12-24, and M6 screws are most common)
to install the GridMaster controller to the rack.
See Figure 2. For installation in a rack without
threaded holes, cage nuts and screws are
recommended. Tighten the screws.
