Fitting the Cradles

  1. Begin with the topmost cradle to ensure that the shelf beneath is clear and allows maximum access to the underside of the shelf being worked on.
  2. If the cradle is networked, plug the patch lead into the appropriate socket in the center of the cradle at the rear. Note the polarity of the connector and the click of the latch when the plug is pushed home.
  3. Plug the DC cable into the socket on the left-hand side (when viewed from the front) of the cradle, again at the rear. This, too, is polarized and produces a click when the connector is pushed fully home.
    Do not force the connector; if it does not fit correctly, check the orientation and the pin configuration.
  4. After the cables are plugged in, gently position the cradle onto the shelf, fitting the large aperture of the keyhole slots over the fixed shoulder screws. Slide the cradle towards the front of the shelf until the shoulder screws come to rest at the narrow end of the keyhole slots.
  5. Fix the cradles in place using two M4 mm x 12 mm screws. Tightened sufficiently to grip the cradle and prevent it from moving.
    Do not over-tighten the screws to prevent distorting the cradle and potentially damaging the threaded inserts.
  6. After the cradles are in place, the mains connector can be plugged into a wall socket and switched on.
    • If the Rack does not have a PPU fitted, the cradles should immediately be active, and a device should be placed into any cradle slot to charge.
    • If the Rack is fitted with a PPU, it might not immediately power the cradles. If so, check that the RCD is in the On position. The RCD can be found on the left-hand side of the PPU. Lift the flap of the PPU to expose the three components of the PPU. Lifting the flap of the PPU is safe as the live terminals are behind the face plate. When the RCD is switched on, a small click sounds, which is the ICL switching over to direct connection from its initial current limiting connection.
    • If the cradles do not power on, see Troubleshooting.
    • If the Rack still does not work, then a qualified electrician should inspect the wall socket and electrical supply.
