Rack-Mount Safety
•Elevated Operating Ambient Temperature: If the Power Supply is installed in a closed or
multi-unit rack assembly, the operating ambient temperature of the rack environment may
elevate above the room ambient temperature. Do not operate the device in an enclosed
environment above 40°C (104°F).
•Reduced Air Flow: When installing the Power Supply in an equipment rack, the rack must be
vented and have adequate airflow to maintain an operating temperature below 40°C
(104°F).
•Mechanical Loading: The Power Supply must be installed in a rack in a horizontal flat
orientation to ensure even mechanical loading in the rack, avoiding hazardous or dangerous
loading conditions.
•Circuit Overloading: When installing the Power Supply in an equipment rack, consider the
connection of the equipment to the rack or power source to avoid overloading the rack
circuit or supply wiring. Consider the rack or power distribution in the equipment rack during
installation.
•Reliable Grounding: Maintain reliable grounding of the rack-mounted equipment. Give
particular attention to any supply connections other than direct connections to the branch
circuit (for example, the use of power strips).

Install the 1UPower Supply in the Rack
Before installing equipment in the rack, review the Electrical Specifications on the previous page
and Rack-Mount Safety on the previous page .
1. Ensure power to the rack is off.
2. Mount all rack-mountunits in a 19-inch equipment rack.
Connect Ground/Earth
The F-Drive Power Supply has an M5-threaded ground/earth stud (C in the illustration above) for
connection to ground/earth. Follow all local and national codes.
Wire the DC Power Output
The box for the F-Drive R12 LEDdriver includes a red-and-black DCpower wiring harness with an
F-Drive R12 power input plug on one end and bare ends on the other. Follow the instructions
below to wire the bare end to the DCoutput plug provided with the F-Drive Power Supply.
1. Ensure power to the rack is off.
2. Strip the free end of the wires on the DCpower harness to 10 mm (3/8 in).
3. Insert each wire from the DCpower harness into the correct terminal on the DCoutput plug.
Refer to the "+" and "-" label above the DC output receptacle (D in the illustration above).
• Use the #1 Phillips screwdriver to secure the wire in the terminal.
Finish Installation
1. Connect the provided ACpower cable between equipment rack power and the F-Drive
Power Supply ACinput.
2. Apply power to the equipment rack.
3. Toggle the switch on the rear panel of the F-Drive Power Supply to "On." The front panel
LED illuminates.

Maintenance
WARNING: RISK OF DEATH BY ELECTRIC SHOCK! Failure to disconnect all
power to the system before installation, maintenance, cleaning, or any other
system modification could result in serious injury or death.
AVERTISSEMENT : RISQUE DE MORT PAR DÉCHARGE ÉLECTRIQUE! Négliger de
débrancher toutes les sources d’alimentation du système avant l’installation,
l’entretien, le nettoyage ou toute autre modification du système peut causer des
blessures graves ou la mort.
De-energize main feed to F-Drive Power Control products and follow
appropriate Lockout/Tagout procedures as mandated by NFPA 70E. It is
important to note that electrical equipment such as breaker panels can present
an arc flash hazard if improperly serviced. This is due to the high amounts of
short-circuit current available on the electrical supply to this equipment. Any
work must comply with OSHA Safe Working Practices.
CAUTION: RISKOFELECTRICSHOCK!Disconnect power before servicing.
ATTENTION : RISQUE DE CHOC ÉLECTRIQUE!Couper l'alimentation avant
l'entretien.
You can remove the F-Drive Power Supply from the equipment rack using the two aluminum 'U'
handles. The F-Drive Power Supply contains no user-serviceable parts. Contact ETCTechnical
Services with any service questions.
