B. Mount Array in a Stable Rack
A PS Series array must be mounted in a two-pole or four-pole 19” rack.
Instructions for rack assembly and mounting an array are included with the
two-pole assembly kit and the four-pole assembly kit in the array shipping box.
When mounting an array in a rack, you must meet the following recommendations
and requirements:
• Be sure there is sufficient space for air flow in front of and behind the array.
• It is recommended that you attach the rack to the floor for added stability.
• Be sure to support the array until it is completely mounted in the rack.
• The location of the array must be properly vented and must meet the
environmental, power, and physical requirements described in the
following table.
