Installing and Removing an EPS-500
The EPS-500 unit can be mounted in a rack or placed free-standing on a tabletop.
Rack-mounting an EPS-500 unit
You can mount 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 mount 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.
When installing an EPS-500 in a rack system, 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 install the EPS-500, you need the following tools and materials:
● ESD-preventive wrist strap
● #1 Phillips screwdriver
To rack mount each EPS-500 unit:
1 Place the EPS-500 unit upright on a hard flat 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 Place a mounting bracket over the mounting holes on one side of the unit.
4 Insert the provided screws (see Figure 224) and fully tighten the screws using a #1 Phillips
screwdriver.

5 Repeat steps 2 through 4 on the opposite side of the EPS-500 unit.
6 Slide the EPS-500 unit into a 19-inch rack.
