Chapter 2 - Installation
Space Around the Chassis
When the controller and power chassis are installed, you must allow 50 mm (2 inches) at
the front of each chassis and 25 mm (1 inch) at the top of each chassis for proper air
cooling.
CAUTION: It is important to keep the air filters clean so the forced air
cooling system can work efficiently. See section 5.5 on page 79 for details
!
on cleaning the filters.
Installation in a Rack or Panel Mount
The power chassis and controller can be mounted in a rack or panel by using the
mounting brackets that are shipped in the accessories kit. The brackets can be attached at
the rear of the controller/power chassis for panel mounting or they can be attached to the
front of the controller/power chassis for rack mounting.
Panel Mounting
To panel mount the controller or 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 2-5
and Figure 2-6.
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 2-5 and Figure 2-6.
To rack mount the controller or 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.
