How to install D-Link DPS-800 2-Slot Chassis

Installing the DPS-800 is a straightforward process that enhances your network’s power distribution capabilities while keeping equipment organized and accessible. Follow these general steps to install the chassis with your DPS-200/300/500/500DC modules:

1. Prepare the workspace: Power down and unplug any connected devices. Ensure you have a clear, clean workspace with adequate ventilation. If you’re mounting in a rack, have the appropriate rack ears or mounting hardware ready.
2. Position the chassis: Place the DPS-800 on a stable surface or align it with the rack rails if you’re mounting it in a 19-inch rack. Confirm the orientation so that the front-facing slots align with your intended module access points.
3. Install modules: Slide the DPS-200, DPS-300, DPS-500, or DPS-500DC modules into the two available slots. Ensure each module seats fully with a secure connection. Avoid forcing modules; they should click or sit firmly into place.
4. Secure and route cabling: Use the chassis’s cable management options to organize any power or data cabling. Keep cables away from vents to maintain optimal airflow and reduce heat buildup.
5. Mount and finalize: If using a rack, secure the DPS-800 in place with the appropriate screws. Check that doors or panels close cleanly and that all modules are firmly seated. Recheck all connections before powering on.
6. Power up and test: Reconnect power and test each DPS module to confirm proper operation. Verify that indicators or LEDs reflect normal status and that the system recognizes both installed modules.
