1. Mount the RPS

For safe and reliable operation, the RPS can be placed on a table or mounted

in a rack or cabinet only.

Hewlett-Packard sells 19-inch free-standing equipment racks. To order a

rack for your RPS and hubs, call HP at 1-800-538-8787 and request part

number 46298D.

Mounting Precautions

Before mounting an RPS, plan its location and orientation relative to

other devices and equipment. Also consider the cabling that will be

attached to the RPS and ports that will be used.

Ensure that the RPS does not overload the power circuits, wiring,

and over-current protection. To determine the possibility of over-

loading the supply circuits, add together the ampere ratings from the

nameplates of the RPS and other equipment installed on the same cir-

cuits and compare the total with the rating limits for the supply

circuits.

Make sure that the power source circuits are properly grounded,

then use the supplied power cord to connect the RPS to the circuit.

See the Safety Statements at the end of this manual.

Do not install the RPS in an environment where the operating

ambient temperature might exceed 55°C (131°F).

Make sure the air flow around the sides of the RPS is not restricted.

Table Mounting

To place the RPS on a table or other horizontal surface, no special tools are

necessary. Be certain to pick a sturdy table.
