Location, Mounting, and Ventilation
Use the power supply in rack-mounted or in benchtop applications.
Rack
Mounting
The power supply is designed to fit in a standard 1 in. (483 mm) equipment rack. To
install:
1. Use the integral rack-mount ears at both sides of the front panel to install the
power supply in a rack.
2. Provide adequate support for the rear of the unit without obstructing the
ventilation inlets on the sides of the unit. Use a support bar at the rear of the unit.
Follow the manufacturer’s instructions to install the support bar.
Angle Bracket Mounting
Rack mount slides are not suitable for the 1200 Watt
unit, however, angle brackets are available from the manufacturer.
Ventilation
Whether you place the power supply in a rack or on a bench, allow cooling air to
reach the ventilation inlets on the sides of the unit and allow 4 in. (100 mm) of
unrestricted air space at the rear of the unit for the fan exhaust. Any ventilation space
at the top and bottom of the supply will further lower internal operating
temperatures.
Check “Environmental Specification” on page 32 for the operating ambient
temperature range and the operating altitude specification.
WARNING
Ensure that any mounting screws do not penetrate more than 1/8 in. (3.0 mm)
into the sides of the unit.
