Chassis Installation
Overview
This chapter contains information on power requirements, ESD concerns and installing the
MPS1000 chassis in 19 inch racks. Topics covered in this chapter include:
• “Power and Grounding,” on page 33
• “Additional Requirements,” on page 34
• “Mounting,” on page 35
• “Powering Up,” on page 36
• “Powering Down,” on page 36
Power and Grounding
The power requirements are shown in Table 4-1, “Power Requirements (Input/Primary),”:
Ensure that your MPS1000 unit and the frame holding the unit are properly grounded.
Use proper ESD protection to reduce the risk of damage to your equipment.
Input Supply
Check the system nameplate ratings to ensure that there is no overloading of the supply
circuits that could have an effect on overcurrent protection and supply wiring.
Grounding
The MPS1000 must maintain a constant grounding. It is important to inspect supply
connections to power strips and not just the direct connection to the branch circuit.
The protective grounding lug, located on the rear of the unit, is intended to be connected to the
supply circuit ground. Figure 3-3, “Rear View 16-Port MPS1000,” on page 26 and Figure 3-4,
“Rear View 4-Port MPS1000,” on page 27 show the location of the grounding lug.
