Rack Installation
The iPump 6420 is sized at 1 RU and should be mounted in an EIA-standard, 19-inch-wide
equipment rack. After mounting, maintain a clean, dry environment for the unit.
1) First, install angle brackets or cross-supports capable of supporting both the unit and its
connecting cables. Screw or bolt the supports securely to the equipment rack.
NOTE: Use of rack supports with cutouts on the sides that allow air circulation are also
permitted.(Wegener P/N 26429-07, 26429-08)
2) Place the iPump 6420 on its supports and use four anchor screws or bolts and nuts to
secure the unit's front brackets to the rack.
3) Do not block any of the ventilation or fan opening on the front, side, or rear of the unit.
Support arrangements that do not allow adequate air flow or that block the openings on
front, side and rear vents may result in overheating and damage to the iPump 6420.
4) The front brackets must be secured to the rack. If front brackets are left unsecured, the
unit may shift forward and fall from the rack during installation or operation. Failure to
secure the front brackets may result in personal injury and/or damage to the equipment.
5) Locate the iPump 6420 and its cables to avoid impacts, spills, and pulling cables and to
ensure sufficient air flow. Failure to locate the iPump 6420 in a proper environment may
result in damage to the equipment.
6) No more than 3 iPump6420s may be stacked contiguously, after that, there needs to be a
1RU buffer space before any other heat-generating equipment. This may be repeated
indefinitely, so long as the local ambient temperature requirements are observed
(temperature of air at side and front ventilation points).

Caution:
Do not block any of the front,
side, or rear ventilation holes
Note:
Use of rack supports with cutouts
on the sides that allow air
circulation are also permitted.
