STEP 11
Insert Energy Absorbing Cartridges
There are two types of Energy Absorbing Cartridges
(EAC). Each EAC has a forward and rearward end.
Type "A" EAC's (Figure 36) have eight (8) 3" [75mm]
diameter holes around the circumference of the front
half of the cylinder. Type "B" EAC's (Figure 37) have
a solid cylinder wall with three (3) vent holes on the
rearward end.
When installing the EAC's in a system it is important
to ensure that they are placed according to
manufacturer specification.
Figure 36 Energy Absorbing Cartridge – Type A
NOTE: Refer the System Configuration Chart in
Appendix "A" for proper EAC placement.
When placed in the system, the front of the EAC will
face the front of the system (narrow end). Text on
the EAC reading "This Side Up" should be legible and
at the top of the inserted EAC. The EAC should rest
on the EAC Locating Tabs.
Note that bays capable of holding (2) EAC's will
always use (2) EAC's except in specified empty bays.
They will also always be placed in the widest
locations available.
Figure 37 Energy Absorbing Cartridge – Type B
NOTE: A single bay will never have more than (2)
EAC's in it. Refer the System Configuration Chart
in Appendix "A" for proper placement.
