Installing a redundant power supply
2
Equipment checklist
When you unpack the RPS2-EIF or RPS12 power supply, make sure you have received all the
components. (Refer to
“Package contents” on page 16.) Before beginning the installation, be sure
you have all other necessary installation equipment.
Optional rack-mounting equipment
If you plan to rack-mount a redundant power supply, have the following equipment available:
• Four mounting screws for each device you plan to install (screws are not included)
• A screwdriver (Phillips or flathead, depending on the type of screws used)
Mounting a redundant power supply in a rack
Before mounting the redundant power supply in a rack, consider the following factors:
• Temperature: Since the temperature within a rack assembly may be higher than the ambient
room temperature, check that the rack-environment temperature is within the specified
operating temperature range.
• Mechanical loading: Do not place any equipment on top of a rack-mounted device.
• Circuit overloading: Be sure that the supply circuit to the rack assembly is not overloaded.
• Grounding: Rack-mounted equipment should be properly grounded. Particular attention should
be given to supply connections other than direct connections to the mains.
Follow these steps to install a redundant power supply in a rack.
1. Attach the brackets to the power supply using the screws provided in the Bracket Mounting Kit.
Refer to Figure 18 .
