SECTION 2 - INSTALLATION
2.1 UNPACKING AND INSPECTION
This equipment has been thoroughly inspected and tested prior to packing and is ready for
operation. After careful unpacking, inspect for shipping damage before attempting to operate. If
any indication of damage is found, file an immediate claim with the responsible transport ser-
vice. See Table 2-1 for a list of equipment supplied.
2.2 CONFIGURING THE RACK ADAPTER
Prior to installation the rack adapter must be configured by the user. Configuration consists of
the following:
• For configurations that use multiple output voltages it is possible to key the rack adapter
to accept only a power supply with corresponding keying (see PAR 2.3).
• Configuring slots for independent, parallel, or series operation. This can be done by
means of DIP switches mounted on the rear panel, or externally by wiring the associated
I/O mating connector and DC OUTPUT terminals (see PAR. 2.4).
2.3 RACK ADAPTER KEYING INSTRUCTIONS
RA 19-1U rack adapters incorporate a keying mechanism to prevent accidental insertion of the
incorrect model 1U HSF power supply into any position. The 1U HSF power supplies are keyed
by voltage at the factory. The keying mechanism will prevent engagement of any of the 1U HSF
power supply's connectors with those on the rack adapter's back plate unless the key and key-
way align. The key pins are on the 1U HSF power supply and are set at the factory. DO NOT
ALTER THE KEYING AT THE POWER SUPPLY. The keyway is established by installing screws
(provided) so that the only open holes match the power supply pins. The user can configure
each power supply slot for the desired voltage in the desired position. Figure 1-4 shows the
location of key positions for each slot and Figure 2-1 shows the configuration required for volt-
age selection.
