The RPS-550W and the RPS-950W redundant power supplies (RPS) can be installed on a flat
surface, or in a 19-inch rack using the included two-post rack mount kit
(XN-2P-RMKIT-002).
Install the RPS on a Flat
Surface
Four self-adhesive rubber pads are provided for installing flat surfaces, like a
table. The pads keep the RPS from scratching the supporting surface and help ensure
adequate airflow around the RPS.
To install an RPS on a table - or any firm, flat surface - follow these steps.
Carefully separate the four
rubber pads that are provided
Apply the pads to the underside
of the RPS by placing a pad at each corner, ensuring that all corners are
aligned. shows the locations for attaching the

Install the RPS in a Rack
The RPS can be installed in a four-post rack, using just the two front posts or two back posts,
or a two-post rack. This procedure uses a two-post mounting kit, which accommodates
rack posts 3 inches or 6 inches wide. Rack ears can support both flush- and
mid-mounting. To install the RPS you need:
Two rack mount brackets and mounting screws (rack mount kit) shipped with the
RPS.
Four customer-supplied screws to attach the RPS to a standard 19-inch rack.
To install the RPS in a rack:
Attach a mounting bracket to each
side of the RPS, using the screws provided. Align each mounting bracket so that
the flange (ear) faces the front of the RPS to flush-mount, or faces the rear of
the RPS to mid-mount.

With the mounting brackets attached, position the RPS between the vertical rack
rails of the 19-inch rack.
Fasten the RPS securely to the
rack rails using four customer-supplied rack screws.
