5. Longer than 450mm NEC Express Rack-Mount System Assembly • To install a NEC Express rack-mount system into a non-NEC rack cabinet, the following requirements must be met. Check the specification of your cabinet or measure your cabinet size before installation. • A standard EIA 19-inch rack cabinet • 2. Perforations are provided for cooling both on the front and rear doors. • (For proper ventilation, NEC Express rack cabinet is provided with perforations of 67% square • holes on rear doors and 78% Honeycomb on front door.) • 3. Vertical mounting rails are provided both on the front and rear sides of your cabinet to • Secure the system. The rails must have the form and hole sizes required as below. • (The rails are often described as “mount angles”.)

Each group is protected by 10A circuit breakers. 3rd - Adding all PDU output currents you should not exceed max input current allowed by PDU example: ASP-0020-00-00 has an IEC60309 input plug limited to 32A 4rd - Select your power distribution model between the ones listed on page 21 Imax 6A C13 C14 C13 Imax 4A C14 C13 C13 C14 C13 C14 Imax 3A C13 C14 C13 S devices I Max <= 10A C14 C14 Imax 1A C14 C13 C13 C14 C14 C14 Imax 1A C13 S devices I Max x group <= 10A C14 C14 C14 S devices I Max <= 10A S devices I Max <= 16A C14 C13 C14 S devices I Max <= 32A Imax 4A C14 C13 C14 C14 C14 C14 C14 S devices I Max <= 16A S devices I Max <= 10A C14 C13 C14 C14 C14 C14 15A C20 C19 C14 C14 S devices I Max x group <= 16A S devices I Max <= 10A C13 10A C20 C19 C14 C20 C19 C14 Imax 2x6A ASP-0020-00-00 C13 C13 ASP-0022-00-00 C14 31A 60309 C20 C19 ASP-0022-00-00 Rack configuration Guide Rev 1.6 Example of interconnection of one Master PDU ASP-0020-00-00 and two slaves ASP-0022-00-00 with different load devices

36. Tec Notes Rack cooling CFM The abbreviation for cubic feet per minute. CFM is used to measure the flow of air through a delivery system or space. BTU The abbreviation for British Thermal Unit. A measurement of heat energy commonly used to measure heat loads in data centers and IT rooms in North America. A BTU is defined as the amount of heat energy required to raise the temperature of one pound of water by one degree Fahrenheit in one hour. This unit should be replaced by Watt Watt A measurement of energy commonly used to measure electrical and heat loads in data centers and IT rooms. The wattage consumed by the IT equipment, lights, etc. is the amount of heat energy to be removed from the room by the air conditioning system. This term is becoming more common when specifying cooling systems. Relative Humidity The amount of water vapor contained in air relative to the maximum amount the air is capable of holding. Expressed in %. Ton (Cooling) A measurement of heat energy commonly used historically to measure heat loads in data centers and IT rooms in North America. A ton is equal to 12,000 BTUs and is the amount of heat energy required to melt 2000 pounds (907kg) of ice in one day (24 hours). This is an archaic term typically used to specify heat output when expressed in Tons / day, where the use of the more modern term Watts is the simpler and more universal measure that should be used.
