1.1 SCOPE OF MANUAL
This manual contains instructions for the installation and operation of RA 60 Series plug-in rack
adapters (Figure 1-1), including RA 60, RA 62 and RA 63, used with HSP Series power sup-
plies, manufactured by Kepco, Inc., Flushing, New York, U.S.A.
1.2 GENERAL DESCRIPTION
Kepco Series RA 60 rack adapters are specifically designed for the installation of Kepco HSP
Series Power Supplies into 19-inch, 23-inch and 24-inch EIA standard equipment racks. Each
rack adapter accommodates from one to three HSP power supplies. An internal plate assembly
mounts connectors which interface directly with the power and signal connectors of HSP series
power supplies, permitting pluggable insertion and extraction, while a separate external rear
panel contains the fixed power and signal connections. Separate source power, signal, and load
terminations are provided for each of the three power supply mounting positions. Internal power
output configurations differ for the three models as follows:
• RA 60 Output power connections for all three positions are internally connected for
parallel/redundant applications.
• RA 62 Output power connections for positions 1 and 2 are internally paralleled,
position 3 is independent from the other two.
• RA 63 Output power connections not connected internally, all three positions are
independent of each other
External dimensions and mounting provisions are identical for all Series RA 60 Rack Adapter
models All mechanical and electrical specifications are contained in the outline drawing: Figure
1-2.
Each rack adapter occupies 5.22 inches (132.5 mm) of vertical space and has a maximum
depth protrusion of 21 inches measured from the mounting surface of the “ear” brackets. Mount-
ing positions are provided for flush mount as well as ¼ setback and ½ setback (notched mount-
ing ears required). All rack adapters are shipped with mounting ears for flush mounting in EIA
19-inch equipment racks. The rack adapters can be fitted with optional blank filler panels in both
1/3 and 2/3 dimensions if the full complement of three power supplies is not utilized.
