This document outlines how to install a NEWT-IPX on a 1RU Shelf, and then install the 1RU Shelf in a rack frame.
Before You Begin
The 1RU Shelf supports up to three NEWT-IPX modules, each module installed in a separate slot on the 1RU Shelf.
The slot a NEWT-IPX will use determines the placement of the Ear Bracket on the NEWT-IPX chassis.
Before proceeding, it is recommended to:
• determine how many NEWT-IPX modules you will install and
• determine the slot(s) on the 1RU Shelf you will install the NEWT-IPX into
Installation Requirements
You will need:
• One Phillips #2 screwdriver
• One 1RU Shelf with L-Brackets Kit (Ross P/N NEWT-SHELF-KIT)
• At least one NEWT-IPX module (a maximum of three modules can be installed on the 1RU Shelf)
Installing the NEWT-IPX in the Middle Slot
To install the NEWT-IPX in the middle slot you must first install the L-Brackets to the front edge of the shelf. The
L-Brackets are used to secure the NEWT-IPX to the 1RU Shelf. Refer to Figure 1 for install details.

To install the NEWT-IPX in the middle slot of the 1RU Shelf
1. Position the NEWT-IPX between the L-Brackets installed on the shelf.
2. Affix the NEWT-IPX to the left L-Bracket using a #6-32 screw through the middle hole on the corresponding Ear

3. Affix the NEWT-IPX to the right L-Bracket using a #6-32 screw through the middle hole on the corresponding
Ear Bracket.
Installing the NEWT-IPX in the Left or Right Slots
Installing the NEWT-IPX in the left or right slots of the 1RU Shelf requires you to first install an Ear Bracket to the
required side of the NEWT-IPX chassis. The module(s) are then secured using the rack/frame screws that affix the
1RU Shelf to the rack frame.
To install an Ear Bracket NEWT-IPX
1. If you are installing the NEWT-IPX in the left slot, affix one Ear Bracket to the left side of the NEWT-IPX.
2. If you are installing the NEWT-IPX in the right slot, affix one Ear Bracket to the right side of the NEWT-IPX.

3. Position the NEWT-IPX on the 1RU Shelf so that the Ear Bracket sits atop the Mounting Ears of the 1RU Shelf.
Installing the 1RU Shelf in a Rack Frame
The 1RU Shelf is affixed to the rack frame via the ears located on its front.
To install the 1RU Shelf in a rack frame
1. Secure each power supply to the 1RU Shelf using a tie wrap(s) or Velcro pad(s).
The example below shows three NEWT-IPX on the 1RU Shelf.
2. Slide the 1RU Shelf fully into the rack frame so that the ears of the 1RU Shelf are flush to the rack frame.
3. Use a Phillips screwdriver and the provided screws to secure the 1RU Shelf to the rack frame.
Caution — An 1RU Shelf with three NEWT-IPX modules installed is heavy. Ensure that you have
a firm grip on the shelf, or that the shelf is otherwise supported, before affixing it to the rack frame.
Caution — Adequate ventilation within a rack frame must be maintained.
