Mounting devices on ONErack modules
The innovative ONErack module enables you to efficiently mount
multiple devices. The module provides adjustable voltage and
supports many ways to mount devices and secure cables. When you
add a second voltage selector, you can provide two voltage options
to devices mounted on the module.

and loop
Secured with cable ties Optional second voltage selector

Tips for mounting your devices
When you choose how to place your devices:
nAllow enough cable to be able to access any sources, for
example, Ethernet or external power.
nAllow enough cable to pull the module forward so you can
access your devices. If your cables are short, consider
mounting the device further back on the module.
nAllow enough room around each device for ventilation.
nAllow enough room to reach the buttons of your devices.

Powering ONErack modules
ONErack modules are designed to work with the ONErack internal
power supply, but there are other options – you could use pass-
through power or an external power supply.
ONErack internal power supply
The internal power supply works with the voltage selector to give you
seven DC voltage options:
n5 V @ 7 A
n7.5 V @ 4.7 A
n9 V @ 3.9 A
n12 V @ 2.9 A
n13.5 V @ 2.6 A
n18 V @ 1.9 A
n24 V @ 1.5 A
If you want to mount devices on a ONErack module that need two
different voltages, you can connect a second voltage selector, sold
separately. Ask your sales representative about 1RK-XTRA-PWR.
ONErack pass-through power
If the voltage your device needs is not available from the voltage
selector, then you can connect your device’s power supply through
the dock. Depending on the capabilities of your power supply, you
might be able to supply power to multiple devices, but at a fixed
voltage. You can use a power supply up to 24 V @ 1.5 A.
External power supply
If you don’t want to cut your power lead, you can bypass the dock and
connect your power supply directly to your device. With this method
you can only provide power to a single device.

Fitting ONErack modules
This guide assumes you have already built a ONErack chassis and
fitted an internal power supply, or chosen an alternative method for
powering your devices.
Read more about powering ONErack modules on page 4.
See the installation guides for the chassis and internal power supply.
Overview of fitting ONErack modules
1. Mount one or more devices on your ONErack module.
We recommend that you mount at least your tallest
device.
Read more on page 6.
2. Fit the guide rails and insert the module.
Read more on page 6.
3. Fit the dock and secure it with two M3 screws. Use the module
as a guide to align the dock.
Read more on page 6.
4. Optional: fit all your remaining modules.
5. Mount any remaining devices, select a voltage, then connect
and secure your device cables.
Read more on page 8.
6. Insert the module and power on the ONErack system.

Fitting the guide rails and dock
To avoid damaging your ONErack, build it in a clean, tidy area.
Before you fit the guide rails and dock, mount at least your tallest
device on the ONErack module. This helps you to determine the
positions of the modules. If you intend to fit several modules at once,
fit each one with the tallest device for that module.
Read about mounting devices on ONErack modules on page 3.
1. Clip the guide rails into the lower and upper mounting rails.
Use the numbers to help you fit the guide rails straight and in
line with one another. You can also use the template included
in the box.
Make sure the groove is on the right when you look from the
front of the chassis.

2. Slide the module into the groove in the guide rails.
3. Screw the module in place temporarily with one or two M3
screws.
4. At the rear of the chassis, push the dock into the voltage
selector.
If you have a dock with a bracket, use the slot in the bracket to
help you align the dock. If you have a dock without a bracket,
push the connector on the dock into the connector on the
voltage selector.
5. Screw the dock in place with two M3 screws.

Connecting cables
You can connect your devices to the internal power supply, to pass-
through power, or to their own external power supplies.

supply
Risk of damage to equipment
nMake sure you set the voltage selector to the correct
value for your device or devices.
nDo not connect two devices that need different
voltages to the same voltage selector.
nIf you have devices that need different voltages, fit a
second voltage selector or use a second ONErack
module.
nDo not rotate the voltage selector switch when the
ONErack system is powered.
nBefore you cut any power leads, record the polarity and
voltage for each one with a suitable meter.
nBefore you connect any rewired DC power connector
to any device, check that the polarity and voltage
match what you recorded before you cut the power
lead.
nRemove your device’s power lead from the mains
supply before you cut the cable.
