Installing C2RPS-CHAS2 into the Rack

To install a PSM, proceed as follows:
1. Align the PSM with the slot, then slide the PSM forward until its front panel is flush
against the chassis front panel.
2. Fasten the PSM to the chassis using the captive screws.
3. Perform steps 1 and 2 for each PSM being replaced. When completed, proceed to
"Connecting the PSM Cables and AC Power Cords" on page 2‐6.
Installing C2RPS-CHAS2 into the Rack
To install the chassis into a 19‐inch (48.3‐cm) rack, you need four user‐supplied screws to
fasten the chassis to the rack rails.
After installing the PSM(s) as described back in "Installing C2RPS‐PSMs" on page 2‐2,
rack mount the chassis as follows:
1. Refer to the installation guidelines ("Guidelines for Rackmount Installation" on
page 2‐4).
2. Install the chassis into the rack ("Rack Mounting the Chassis" on page 2‐5).
3. Connect the PSM cables and AC power cords ("Connecting the PSM Cables and AC
Power Cords" on page 2‐6).

Guidelines for Rackmount Installation

The installation site must be within reach of the network cabling and meet the
requirements listed below:
• Chassis placement close enough to connect the 2‐meter (6.6‐foot) AC power cords
from the PSMs to the AC power source.
• Up to two three‐pronged power receptacles capable of delivering the current and
voltage specified in "C2RPS‐PSM Specifications" on page A‐2. Up to two AC outlets
on independently‐fused circuits must be within 182 centimeters (6 feet) from the
installation site. If there is an AC power source failure, this will prevent the powering
down of PSMs due to a single source power failure.
• Power cords and type of outlet are dependent on the country. In the United States,
one power cord with an NEMA 5‐15P plug is provided with each C2RPS‐PSM.
• An ambient temperature of between 5°C (41°F) and 40°C (104°F) must be maintained
at the installation site with fluctuations of less than 10°C (18°F) per hour.
2-4 Installation
Note: If you plan to remove and not replace a C2RPS-PSM, immediately reinstall
coverplates over any empty power supply slots to prevent EMI leakage from the chassis.
