Engineered to securely house up to four TI-RSP100048 industrial power supply units, this 2U open-frame chassis delivers exceptional airflow, modular expansion, and dependable performance in demanding environments. Designed for industrial control rooms, data centers, and manufacturing floors, the TI-R4U combines a compact footprint with resilient steel construction to support high-density power configurations without compromising reliability or accessibility.

• 2U rack-mount design with a vertical open-frame chassis to maximize cooling efficiency and airflow. This configuration simplifies heat dissipation in crowded racks and helps maintain stable operating temperatures for four TI-RSP100048 units, ensuring consistent performance in intensive workloads. The open-frame design also makes component inspection and maintenance quick and straightforward, minimizing downtime during routine servicing or upgrades.
• Modular compatibility that supports up to four TI-RSP100048 industrial power supply units (sold separately). The TI-R4U is purpose-built to centralize power distribution for industrial systems, enabling scalable configurations as your equipment inventory grows. This modular approach reduces space requirements while preserving easy access to each PSU for servicing or replacement, enhancing overall uptime and lifecycle management.
• Sturdy steel construction engineered for industrial environments. The TI-R4U delivers robust mechanical integrity, resistance to vibration, and long-term durability in harsh settings such as factory floors, data centers, or telecom facilities. The rigid frame protects critical power components and provides a secure mounting platform for reliable, multi-PSU configurations.
• Universal 19" rack compatibility with front-accessible installation. This chassis aligns with standard 19" racks used across data centers and industrial facilities, enabling seamless integration with existing infrastructure. The design allows easy front-panel access for quick PSU installation, cable management, and routine checks without disrupting adjacent equipment in dense rack rows.
• Efficient space planning and maintenance support. By consolidating multiple TI-RSP100048 PSUs into a single 2U chassis, the TI-R4U helps streamline power management, improve cable organization, and simplify inventory control. The open-frame approach also provides faster diagnostics—service technicians can visually inspect, test, and replace units with minimal disassembly, reducing mean time to repair (MTTR).

how to install TRENDnet TI-R4U

• Prepare the rack: Ensure the rack is stable, properly grounded, and capable of supporting 2U height with the intended PSU weight. Verify that the vertical space allows full access to the TI-R4U for installation, maintenance, and cable management.
• Mount the chassis: Slide the TI-R4U into a 19" rack and align it with the mounting rails. Secure the chassis using the appropriate rack screws at the top and bottom mounting holes to lock it in place, ensuring the front panel remains accessible for PSU installation and servicing.
• Install TI-RSP100048 PSUs: Insert up to four TI-RSP100048 units into the four PSU slots. Follow the TI-RSP100048 installation guidelines for proper seating, connector engagement, and securing hardware. Ensure each PSU is firmly seated and that any retainers or latches are engaged to prevent movement during operation.
• Connect power and cooling: Route power cables to each TI-RSP100048 unit according to your organization’s electrical and safety standards. Confirm that cooling fans (if present on the PSUs) have clear airflow paths and that the open-frame chassis maintains adequate clearance around the unit for optimal ventilation.
• Cable management and labeling: Tidy cables using ties or dedicated channels to prevent accidental disconnections and to simplify future maintenance. Label each PSU slot for quick identification during servicing or replacements.
• Power-on verification: With all PSUs installed and connected, power up the rack and verify that each TI-RSP100048 unit is detected and delivering the expected rails and voltages. Check for overheating indicators, unusual noises, or warning LEDs. Perform a basic load test to confirm stable operation under representative conditions.

Frequently asked questions

• What does the TRENDnet TI-R4U hold? It is a 2U rack-mount vertical chassis designed to house up to four TI-RSP100048 industrial power supply units (PSUs), which are sold separately. The chassis itself does not include PSUs and is intended to centralize and manage multiple power supplies in a compact 19" rack footprint.
• Is the TI-R4U suitable for harsh industrial environments? Yes. The TI-R4U uses sturdy steel construction and an open-frame, 2U design to maximize cooling and airflow, making it well-suited for factory floors, data centers, and telecom closets where reliability and easy maintenance are essential.
• Do I need to purchase TI-RSP100048 PSUs separately? Yes. The TI-R4U is designed to hold TI-RSP100048 units, but those power supplies are sold separately. This modular approach allows you to tailor capacity and redundancy to your specific application.
• Is this chassis compatible with standard 19" racks? Absolutely. The TI-R4U is built for standard 19" rack mounting, providing familiar integration with existing infrastructure and allowing front access for installation and servicing.
• Can I replace PSUs without powering down the entire rack? In most cases, you can replace individual TI-RSP100048 units within the TI-R4U chassis, depending on your facility’s electrical safety protocols. Always follow proper lockout/tagout procedures and manufacturer guidelines when servicing live systems.
• What are the benefits of an open-frame 2U chassis? The open-frame design enhances cooling and airflow, simplifies access for maintenance, and supports quick installation of multiple PSUs. This configuration is ideal for high-density power setups where efficiency and uptime are critical.
