1620.0. "Rack-mount standalone 90 modules ?" by BRIEIS::BARKER_E (test dummy) Wed Oct 26 1994 15:39

    Hi,
    
    	We have a requirement to rack-mount standalone DECrepeater 90TS'.
    The reasons for this are due to a specific design that we are working
    to, and the components have to be 'positively located' in the racks
    rather than shelf-mounted. Is there a kit available to rack-mount the
    90 form factor modules ? Any other way that has been done ?
    
    	Thanks,

Subj:	Rack-mount kit for the 90 form factor modules

  Hi, Euan,
my name is Mike Romm. I am a mechanical engineer responsible for installation
and cable management products in DECCONNECT group.  Yes, we have a kit for
rack-mount stand alone 90 form factor boxes. Option number is H9544-MS.
 This tray is designed for mounting all boxes without fan extender, like
DEFMI or Decbrouters 90. (editor's note - it is the DEFMI & DECbrouter
which have fan extenders, and so do not fit in this bracket)


Power supply is " positively located' as you said
on the same tray with the special bracket. The solution for the rest of 90
form factor boxes is in design and will be available later in this FY.

  If you have any question, please give me a call. My DTN is 226-6181.

   Regards, Mike Romm
1620.2how do you mount the H7082-AA?CX3MAN::AMBERMark Amber, CNS-West (DTN)592-4645Sun Nov 13 1994 17:3219

    Well, kinda.
    
    If you have a 90 module that uses the US version of 5v-only power
    supply then it needs some creative work.  The H7082-AA p/s has its AC
    plug directly on the surface of the power supply i.e. the power supply
    box plugs directly into the wall or power strip.  If you attempt to
    mount this in the special bracket on the same tray then it gets a bit
    clumsy.
    
    Not really a fault of the H9544-MS, but why is there a special bracket
    for the 5v only power supply?  Certainly you don't want us mounting
    those things with the AC connectors pointing straight up?  I'm guessing
    its only the US version that was "value engineered" this way.  I'm
    guessing the international version has the universal power plug with a
    separate power cord like most everything else we make.
