Dual bus shelves will allow for a true A+B supply to equipment requiring such a facility. The four 1/4-20 threaded bolts on each bar are spaced 0.625” apart. UNIPOWER can supply various pre-made DC load cables; see the current datasheet for available options.
OUTPUT B connected together to create higher capacity power systems than can be achieved with a single shelf. UNIPOWER offers bus bar linking kits as follows: 2 shelf kit, part number 775-1509-0020. Contains two short link bars, one for connecting the two positive bus bars together and one for connecting the two negative bus bars together.
3 inches (76mm) free space behind and in front of the power shelf when it is installed in the rack. UNIPOWER also recommends that any equipment mounted directly above the BLUEstreak power shelf should be shorter in overall depth so as to not obstruct any ventilation holes in the top surface.
BLUESTREAK SERIES P O W E R I N G T E C H N O L O G Y INSTALLATION & OPERATING MANUAL 19.0 SETUP AND TESTING 19.1 The BLUEstreak can be initially tested mounted in a rack or on a test bench. If two or more units are to be tested in a rack, they should first be individually tested in Position 1 (left side) of the rack.

BLUESTREAK SERIES P O W E R I N G T E C H N O L O G Y INSTALLATION & OPERATING MANUAL 19.9 Testing other BLUEstreak modules - For a power shelf with two, three or four BLUEstreak modules, the other modules should be plugged into Position 1 in the rack and tested in the same manner as above in Sections 19.2 to 19.8.
Figure 14 - PMBus Demonstration Program Screen Shot To use this program a PC to I²C Adaptor is required and UNIPOWER recommends and can supply the I2C2PC Adaptor detailed at www.i2cchip.com/pdfs/i2c2pc.pdf. This adaptor provides both RS232 and USB connections to the host PC and requires an external 9-12VDC power supply when the RS232 interface is utilised.
