All Rights Reserved.10640205 February 2009Inspecting the Equipment and Reporting Damage• Unpack the APS dc power system and inspect it carefully for possible damage that may have occurred whilein transit.• Next, check the equipment against the packing list (supplied with the equipment) and ensure that you havereceived the correct type of Access Power Rectifiers (either APR48 or APU48).• Report any damage or incorrect shipment immediately, using a completed Equipment Incident Report (at theback of this guide) to supply all relevant details. Fax the completed form to your local Eaton dc productrepresentative.• Keep the original packaging. You will need it if any equipment needs to be returned to your local Eaton dcproduct representative.InstallationMounting the APS DC Power SystemLocation and EnvironmentAPS dc power systems (rack-mounted and desktop versions) meet the safety and fireenclosure requirements (as specified in IEC 60950-1, UL 60950-1, EN 60950-1 and AS/NZS60950.1).• Rack-Mounted Versions: APS3-05X and APS6-05X series dc power systems may bemounted in 19-inch wide host equipment racks (enclosed or open type) securely boltedto the floor.• Desktop Versions: APS3-06X series dc power systems may be positioned on any surfacethat supports the weight (12kg/26lb) of the power system.The location must provide adequate airflow around the unit, (as per Clearance Requirementsbelow) in an atmosphere free from excessive dust, corrosive fumes, or conductivecontaminants.Dust build-up within APS dc power systems may cause premature failure. In dustyenvironments, either install the power system in a sealed and air-conditioned equipmentroom, or provide fan assisted filtered air to create a positive pressure environment inside theequipment room. Both options require regular cleaning of the air filters.Important Notes for Rack Mounted Systems• If this dc power system is installed in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly ensure that theambient temperature is less than 40°C.• Ensure that the air flow is not restricted.• Ensure that the system's weight is adequately and evenly supported.• Take note of the maximum ac current stated on the nameplate. Ensure that the ac supply iscorrectly rated.• Ensure that reliable earthing is maintained. Carefully check earth continuity from the branchcircuit to the dc power system.
