Installation in a Rack or Panel Mount
The power chassis (and controller if they are joined) can be mounted in a rack or panel by
using the mounting brackets that are shipped in the accessory kit. The brackets can be
attached at the rear of the power chassis for panel mounting or they can be attached to the
front of the power chassis for rack mounting.
Space Around the Chassis
When the power chassis is installed, you must allow 50 mm (2 inches) at the front of the
chassis and 25 mm (1 inch) at the top of the chassis for proper air cooling.
CAUTION: It is important to keep the air filter clean so the forced air cool-
ing system can work efficiently. See Chapter 7 for details on cleaning the
!
filter.
Panel Mounting
To panel mount the Adept PA-4 power chassis, install one bracket on each side near the
back of the chassis. Use the screws and washers from the accessories kit. See Figure 5-4.
Rack Mounting
To rack mount the Adept PA-4 power chassis joined to an Adept MV-8 controller in a
standard 19-inch equipment rack, you must use the mounting brackets, screws, and
washers from the accessories kit. The brackets can be installed in two positions for rack
mounting: flush and set-back. See Figure 5-4.
To rack mount the Adept PA-4 power chassis by itself in a standard 19-inch equipment
rack, you must first install the mounting brackets, then build an extender panel and attach
it to the bracket on one side of the chassis.
