NTRODUCTION
The ReFlex Power™ DC power supply modules have been fully calibrated and
tested prior to shipment; the modules are ready for immediate use upon receipt.
However, when first unpacked, the modules should be inspected to ensure that
no shipping damage has occurred.

NSPECTION
Perform a visual inspection of the shipping container prior to accepting the
package from the carrier. If damage to the shipping container is evident, a
description of that damage should be noted on the carrier's receipt and signed by
the carrier's driver.
Verify that the proper module and associated accessories have been received.
Perform a visual inspection of the module after it is removed from the shipping
container. Check for shipping damage such as dents, scratches, or distortion of
the enclosure.
If external damage is evident, there may be internal damage as well. Immediately
contact the carrier and file a claim for concealed damage. In addition, the
shipping container and filler material should be saved for inspection. Forward a
report of the damage to the Customer Care Department where an associate will
provide instructions for repair or replacement of the unit.

ONSIDERATIONS
The DC power supply modules are designed for use within the ReFlex Power™
Mainframe. Standalone or series-grouped modules could be inserted within any
slot of the Mainframe. However, parallel-grouped modules must occupy
physically contiguous slot locations (no modules outside the group may be
placed between parallel-grouped modules) also, the group could extend across
two Mainframes. Unused slots are allowed within the parallel group, but they
must be occupied by a filler panel.
A IRFLOW R EQUIREMENTS
Since the units are fan-cooled, they require sufficient clearance for adequate
air intake through the front panels and exhaust through the rear. Ensure that
the ambient air temperature at the front panel air intake does not exceed 55 °C.
Proper airflow also requires filler panel(s) in any empty slot(s) of the Mainframe.
CAUTION
Inadequate airflow and excessive ambient air temperature
could result in overheating and thermal shutdown.
