Installation and Setup Guide
2 Rack Mounting the Array
• Mount the array in a horizontal orientation, or you will void your array warranty and support contract.
Environmental Requirements
The rack location must meet the following environmental requirements:
• The power source can supply a voltage range of 100V to 240V AC.
• The power source has sufficient electrical overload protection:
In North America, connect the array to a source of power with over-current protection provided by a
double pole 20A or less device (UL 489 circuit breakers).
In Europe, the over-current protection must be provided by a 20A or less device (IEC circuit breakers).
• There is sufficient space for air flow in front of and behind the array.
• The location is properly vented.
• Your environment supports all of the requirements listed in the Power Supplies on page 29.
Protecting Hardware
Protect your PS Series array from electrostatic discharge. When handling array hardware, use an electrostatic
wrist strap or a similar form of protection. To use a wrist strap:
1. Connect the steel snap on the coil cord to the stud on the elastic band. See Figure 1.
Figure 1: Using an Electrostatic Wrist Strap
2. Fit the band tightly around your wrist.
3. Connect the band to ground. You can either plug the banana connector into a matching grounded receptacle,
or attach it to the matching alligator clip and connect the clip to a grounded device. Examples of an
appropriate ground would be an ESD mat, or the metal frame of a grounded piece of equipment.
Shipping Box Contents and Required Hardware
Make sure you have all the items supplied in the shipping box, described in Table 1. You must provide additional
hardware that is specific to your environment and not included in the shipping box. See Table 2.
