2. Set the device on a flat surface near an AC power source and near enough to the
switch so that the DC power cable will reach. Make sure there are at least two
inches of space on all sides for proper airflow.
3. Go to “Grounding the Chassis” on page 20.
RPS Cooling Requirements
Wherever the RPS is located, be sure to pay close attention to RPS cooling
requirements. The location should be well ventilated and provide unrestricted airflow
at the front, back, and sides of the RPS. If the airflow is insufficient, it may cause the RPS
to overheat and possibly fail.
The RPS900 is ventilated using fan cooling. The fans mounted on the left side panel,
draw in cool air at the right panel vent of the RPS. The cool air is heated as it flows
through the RPS and is exhausted from the left side panel as shown in Figure 7.
