VM600 MPS quick start manual MAMPS-QS/E 1 - 11
Edition 2 - October 2018
Installing a rack
INSTALLATION
The AC-input rear panels with mains sockets used by VM600 racks have a power entry
module that requires temperature derating when a rack operates in environments with
temperatures greater than 50°C.
NOTE: Refer to the VM600 machinery protection system (MPS) hardware manual for
further information on the temperature derating required for AC-input rear panels.
1.3.4 Instructions for locating and mounting
A POPULATED VM600 SYSTEM RACK WITH CARDS AND RACK POWER SUPPLIES
INSTALLED
IS A HEAVY OBJECT.
D
EPENDING ON THE NUMBER OF VM600 CARDS AND RPS6U RACK POWER SUPPLIES
INSTALLED
, A VM600 SYSTEM RACK (ABE04x) CAN BE TOO HEAVY TO LIFT, LOWER
OR
OTHERWISE HANDLE MANUALLY BY A SINGLE PERSON AND THERE IS THE RISK OF
INJURY
DURING INSTALLATION OR REMOVAL.

The positioning of the VM600 rack shall allow easy access to the on/off
switch for the main supply.
A fully equipped VM600 rack can weigh 23 kg, so the following instructions
apply:
• Two people are required to carry or mount the VM600 rack in its cabinet.
• Shelves, guide rails and other devices used to support a VM600 rack must
be strong enough to bear the weight of the rack.
For the standard version (PNR: 204-040-100-0xx), separate-circuits version
(PNR: 204-040-100-1xx) and rear-mounting version (PNR: 204-042-100-0xx)
of the VM600 rack, deflection plates (barriers) must be installed both above
and below the VM600.
The barriers installed above and below a VM600 rack are required to
prevent unintentional access to the equipment in order to help reduce the
risk of electrical shock.
In addition, the barrier installed below a VM600 rack is also required in
order to help prevent the spread of fire in the unlikely event that one should
occur. Accordingly, the barrier below a VM600 must be a non-flammable
separation barrier made of metal or a UL94 V-1 rated (or better) material.

LECTRICAL SAFETY AND INSTALLATION ON PAGE VIII.
When inclined plates are used with a VM600 rack in order to deflect airflow
and prevent warm air flowing into a rack, an inclined plate can also function
as a required deflection plate (barrier) if it is made from an appropriate
material. See 1.3.1 Ventilation.
