Installing An Eps-500 External Power Supply Unit; Rack-Mounting An Eps-500 Power Supply - Extreme Networks Summit X150 Series Hardware Installation Manual

Installing an EPS-500 External Power Supply Unit

You can position the EPS-500 facing either the front or the back of the rack. For this reason, each unit
has two sets of mounting holes on each side. Extreme Networks recommends that you position the
EPS-500 unit so that the power output connectors of the EPS-500 unit are on the same side as the
external connector on the connecting switch.
The EPS-500 unit can be mounted in a rack or placed free-standing on a tabletop.
NOTE
An AC power cord is not provided with the EPS-500 unit. See
page 311 for information about selecting a power cord.

Rack-mounting an EPS-500 Power Supply

CAUTION
When you install an EPS-500 in an equipment rack, make sure that the air vents are not restricted. Allow
for elevated ambient operating temperatures when the unit is installed adjacent to other equipment. To
avoid hazardous conditions due to uneven mechanical loading, make sure that the equipment is mounted
properly in the rack system.
Do not use the rack-mount brackets to suspend the EPS-500 from under a table or desk, or to attach the
unit to a wall.
To rack-mount each EPS-500:
1 Place the EPS-500 upright on a stable surface, with the side you want to face to the front of the
switch toward you.
2 Remove the mounting bracket kit from the packaging.
3 Attach the mounting brackets as follows:
a Place a mounting bracket over the mounting holes on one side of the EPS-500 (see
b Insert the provided screws and fully tighten the screws using a screwdriver.
