How to install VERTIV Rackmount Power Supply (RMPSU)
Installing the RMPSU is a straightforward process designed to minimize disruption to active systems while delivering reliable power to Avocent devices. Follow these steps to ensure a clean, compliant setup that optimizes performance and uptime:
- Prepare the rack and power sources: Power down affected devices in a controlled manner or coordinate with your maintenance window. Confirm available rack space is clear for the RMPSU and ensure there is adequate ventilation around the installation area.
- Mount the RMPSU in the rack: Align the RMPSU with the selected 19-inch rack location. Secure the unit using the appropriate screws or mounting hardware designed for your rack rails, ensuring the unit is firmly seated and level to prevent vibration or rack wobble.
- Connect to Avocent devices: Use the recommended connectors and cables to link the RMPSU to Avocent HMX, LV Extender, or other compatible low-voltage devices. Route cables neatly to minimize airflow obstruction and to reduce strain on connectors.
- Verify power integrity and indicators: Power on the rack and monitor the RMPSU indicators and the powered devices. Confirm stable voltage delivery to all connected components and check for any fault indicators or warning LEDs.
- Label, document, and monitor: Document the installation in your asset management system, noting serial numbers, model details, and rack location. Implement routine monitoring routines to verify ongoing power integrity and to promptly detect deviations or faults.
