6. Connecting a Power Supply N4X air‐conditioning units required a dedicated 10A Single‐phase AC power supply for each aircon module. Each Aircon module has a dedicated power ingress point at the top rear of the chassis with a matching IEC C19 locking power receptacle. An additional 10A single‐phase power supply is required for the internal equipment to be mounted within the Armarac enclosure. This power ingress point is at the bottom rear of the chassis (left or right side to suit) or can be set up with dual/redundant power feeds with two receptacles. 6.1 Internal IEC‐C19 power receptacles Step 1 – Remove the power receptacle Remove the upper and lower Patch Panel Mounting Trays from within the chassis using a 2.5mm hex key. Remove the power socket shield using a 7mm hex socket. Remove the plastic closed grommet from the side rear of the chassis covering the cable entry hole provided to facilitate power cable entry to that power receptacle. ...
Page 18
Power ingress can also be achieved directly through the back of the chassis if required Step 1 – Relocate the power socket cover plate Remove the power socket cover from the rear of the chassis using a 2.5mm hex key. Reposition the power socket cover on the chassis over to the right hand side as shown. Step 2 – Install/connect the power outlet If the power outlet is already in place you can now install the Armarac in to position and fix it to the wall as described in Section 5 above. Alternatively you can now install a new outlet in the correct position. The cut‐out in the chassis is suitable for a single (shown), double or quad power outlet to be fitted.

Remove the conduit termination plate with a 2.5mm hex key. Step 4 – Terminating Conduit If using conduit to run your cables to the Armarac ...
Page 28
Step 5 – Using the Cable Shroud If using the optional Cable Shroud: 1. Remove the upper (or lower) conduit termination plate from the outside of the chassis (use 2.5mm hex key on 8x screws). 2. Fit the cable shroud to the Armarac chassis using the supplied T‐loop hex driver. 3. If using conduit, predrill the conduit gland holes in the termination plate prior to reaffixing. Step 6 – Installing the Cable At this point the structured cabling can be installed inside of the Armarac and can be terminated on to your 19‐inch patch panel(s). The patch panel(s) can then be installed on to patch panel mounting tray using four M5 (10/32) fasteners for each patch panel. Armarac MX800N4X Series Installation Guide ...

Insert the supplied two‐RU adapters into the bottom of both the upper and lower extrusion spines. Using a hex key tighten the set screws until the adapters are firmly held within the extrusions. Step 4 – Combine the right‐hand Vertiblade latch bodies Place the two latch bodies together as shown. Using the two supplied M6 cap screws and Nylock nuts bolt the two latch bodies together and tighten with a hex key. This Vertiblade bracket is now ready to accept 2U devices. Converting from One 2RU bracket to Two 1RU brackets Is achieved by reversing the above procedure. Armarac MX800N4X Series Installation Guide v1.1 | September‐2015 Page 30 of 56 ...

10. Vertiblade Screw Adapters Different equipment manufacturers often use different retention screw thread sizes to hold their equipment to the rack kits. The Armarac has a series of corresponding server Screw Adapters to suit each type of thread to ensure that all equipment is securely fastened to its Vertiblade. Step 1 – Determine the correct thread requirement Choose between the M4, M5 (10/32) and M6 Vertiblade screw adapters to match your equipment manufacturer’s server retention ...
Page 32
11. Installing Your Equipment It is recommended to start with the equipment at the rear of the Armarac and that the heaviest equipment should be installed at the rear e.g. Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS). Please configure your Armarac for the correct Rack‐Unit sizes (refer Section C5 above) e.g. setting up 1U and 2U combinations to match the equipment you intend to install. Please ensure the correct manufacturer specific retention thread screw adapters have been fitted (refer Section C6 above). Step 1 – Open the rear Vertiblade Open the front Vertiblade brackets to gain maximum access to the rear mounting space. ...

12. Internal Cabling Guide Armarac provides facility to install and correctly manage all of the cabling required for a full 10RU of equipment. To avoid excess cable clutter we recommend using cables that are 1.0m to 1.5m in length (3ft, 4ft, 5ft long). Note due to the nature of the Vertiblade articulated hinging system all cabling is required to run on the left‐hand side of the enclosure to ensure each bracket can open properly for full device access. Step 1 – Main Power Supply If used, connect the chassis power outlet to your UPS inlet or power distribution unit (PDU). Do not turn your UPS on yet. Step 2 – Device Power Distribution Continue to run AC power cables from your UPS (or PDU) to each device that you have installed in the Vertiblade brackets. For each device open its Vertiblade bracket up to 90 degrees to ensure the correct length and ...

Ensure the cable tails are long enough to fully open the Vertiblade zigzag to access the UPS in the rear mounting bay. Terminate each loom on the appropriate patch panel in accordance with the cabling standard being adopted (Cat‐5 or Cat‐6). Check that the Vertiblade brackets can open and close without causing strain on the structured cabling or interfering with the hinging mechanism. Armarac MX800N4X Series Installation Guide v1.1 | September‐2015 Page 35 of 56 ...
Page 36
Repeat for all 24 ports. Carefully loom the 24 cores together adhering to cabling standards. Step 5 – Check for Interference Ensure that each Vertiblade bracket can fully open without cables pinching or pulling on any device or patch panel. Ensure that the Armarac doors can close without causing interference with any cables or the ventilation fans. Armarac MX800N4X Series Installation Guide v1.1 | September‐2015 Page 36 of 56 ...
