Installation and Power

Physical Installation

Your AERO is either a 1RU or 2RU product intended to be permanently installed in a standard 19 ½” equipment rack and secured with four standard rack screws. It is fan-cooled with air intakes and exhausts located on the sides of the unit just behind the front panel. Whenever possible, it is recommended to leave 1RU of empty space above and below the unit.

Power

There is no on/off switch. The AERO will power up when power is applied to either power supply. To power down the unit, simply remove power from both supplies.

Each IEC power cord should be connected to different mains power sources. Remember that while redundant supplies do protect against the unit losing power in the event of a PSU failure, the loss of mains supply voltage is a bigger concern. Accordingly, we recommend feeding each supply from a different circuit, ideally one equipped with adequate surge protection and an uninterruptible power supply (UPS).
