Installing an RPS-500p in a Rack

To install the RPS-500p power supply in a 19-inch rack, you need the following:

• Two rack-mounting brackets and mounting screws (rack-mounting kit) shipped with the power supply
• Four customer-supplied screws to attach the power supply to a standard 19-inch rack

Caution

Observe all ESD precautions when handling sensitive electronic equipment.

Caution

Before rack-mounting the device, ensure that the rack can support it without compromising stability. Otherwise, personal injury and/or equipment damage may result.

To install the RPS-500p in a rack, follow these steps.

1. Attach the rack-mounting brackets to the RPS-500p using the eight M3x6mm flathead screws shipped with the power supply.
   See Attaching the Rack-Mounting Brackets.

   1 = RPS-500p	3 = Mounting screws (4)
   2 = Rails of 19-inch rack

3. Fasten the RPS-500p securely to the rack rails using four customer-supplied rack screws.
4. If you are installing the RPS-500p in a stacked configuration, repeat this procedure for each power supply.
5. Connect the RPS-500p to its power source.
