Summary Enclosed is a Rack for your HC900 Controller.

Racks are available in 4-slot, 8-slot, and (900R04)

12-Slot versions.
Racks are interchangeable between the
Controller rack and an I/O expansion rack
(C50 CPU only) - Figure 1.
8 and 12 slot I/O racks (900R08 and
900R12) can be modified with additional (900R08R)
slots for optional Reserve Power Supply (900R08)
and Power Status Module.

C50: I/O rack has a Scanner 1 module

C70R: I/O rack has a Scanner 2 Module.
(900R12R)
(900R12)

Redundant CPU Rack (900RR0)

Redundant CPU Rack:
Holds two redundant C70R CPUs, two
Power Supplies, and one Redundancy
Switch Module (RSM).
The C70R Redundant CPU Rack does not Power C70R RSM C70R Power
Supply CPU CPU Supply
support any I/O Modules and cannot be
used with C30 or C50 CPU’s

Rack Orientation and Mounting
Racks must be mounted as indicated in illustrations throughout this instruction, so as to provide for
vertical airflow through the racks. That is, racks must never be mounted vertically, and must never be
mounted with the backplane horizontal (for example, flat on a horizontal panel or tabletop).
Environmental specifications apply only to the normal mounting configuration.

Rack dimensions, including overall dimensions and patterns for drilling holes for mounting, are given
in Figure 2, Figure 3 and Figure 4. Vertical spacing of racks, which is required for rack ventilation and
for routing wires, is shown in Figure 5.

Procedure
Use the following procedure to install the specific rack supplied.

Table 1 Redundant Controller CPU Module installation or replacement

Step Action
1 Using the dimensions in Figure 2, 3,
and 4 as a guide, mark the locations for
rack mounting in the enclosure for the top
holes in the rack.

CAUTION:

When drilling holes, prevent metal

flakes from falling into the rack, or onto
any surface within the electrical cabinet.

2 Aluminum grounding bars for I/O module

wiring are optional. They can be mounted at
top, at bottom, or at top and bottom of the
rack, as indicated at right.

If grounding bars are included, attach them

with two M3 screws (supplied with grounding
bars in plastic bag).

Note: The plastic bag also includes four M4

screws for attaching the grounding wire lugs,
which are attached later.

Attach the M4 screws loosely to the

grounding bars for safe keeping.
3 Hang the rack in the enclosure on the top
screws.

Start all screws in the bottom of the rack and

then tighten all screws.

Note: You may find it easier to postpone this

step until after all components have been
installed in the rack.

4 Repeat for each rack in your system.
