5.2 Mounting

airflow for cooling the PLM is from front panel (intake)
to rear panel (exit). Racks containing PLM units must
not have any covering (such as doors or lids) that
could impede air flow while in operation.
always allow sufficient space at the rear of the PLM
to permit efficient air exit (see section 6.4) and to
accommodate rear connectors and cables. also,
allowance must be made for cable or loom bends
within a rack. in particular, the mains cable (aC cord)

PLM Series products have no top or bottom vents;
therefore units may be safely stacked directly on top
of each other.
See the PLM Series operation Manual section 13.2
for more information about mechanical installation
and examples of rack mounting arrangements.

5.3 Rear Mounting

two rear support brackets, plus mounting
hardware, are included with the PLM (figure 5.3).
it is recommended that these are used wherever
possible. they should be fitted to vertical rack rails
at the rear of the rack. Refer to figures 5.3a and 5.3b
for details of their installation.
note that the support brackets are reversible and
may be fitted to point either to the front or rear of
the rack. the orientation used in a particular situation
will depend on the depth of the rack.

two mounting methods are possible; note that the
method shown in figure 5.3b additionally provides
extra security against unauthorized removal. For
situations where rapid removal and replacement of
units is of paramount importance, the method shown
in figure 5.3c may be used as it does not involve any
permanently secured fixing at the rear of the unit.
