Power Supply Unit Installation
This chapter describes how to insert or extract (“how swap”) a power supply in an Harmony Controller
8000 chassis.
The following topics are covered:
• Overview
• Power Supply Hot Swap
CAUTION: Do not attempt to install or operate damaged equipment. As with any
electrical equipment, personal injury or damage to other equipment can
result from commissioning damaged electrical equipment.
NOTE: Follow all applicable regulations for installation of electrical equipment; for
example, in the United States of America, the National Electrical Code.
For devices with multiple power supplies, it is recommended that all power
supplies be plugged-in.
Overview Power connections are made using a hot-swap power cable, which enables quick and easy installation
of the power supplies without the need to disturb the terminal blocks. For models with multiple power
supply units, power is connected to each module separately.
Before extracting a power supply from the chassis, you must disconnect it from the power source. This is required regardless of whether the power supply is in standby mode or powered on mode. Likewise, when installing a power supply, insert the supply into the chassis first, before connecting the power supply to the power source.
• Insertion: Input and Output power are connected simultaneously, in either standby mode or
powered on mode, when the power supply is inserted into the chassis.
• Extraction: Input and Output power are disconnected simultaneously, in either standby mode or
powered on mode, when the power supply is extracted from the chassis.
No damage or arcing to Input or Output contacts occurs.

NOTE: Each rail assembly consists of 1 inner rail and 2 end brackets.
Below is an image of the rail assemblies.
FIGURE 6 Rail Assemblies
Required Tools To install the rack-mount kit, you will need the following tools:
17 | P a g e A 1 0 H a r m o n y T M C o n t r o l l e r 8 0 0 0 I n s t a l l a t i o n G u i d e
• Anti-static wrist strap and conductive foam pad (recommended)
• #2 Phillips-head screwdriver
Installation Instructions Installation consists of the following tasks:
1. Separate the End Brackets from the Inner Rails.
2. Attach the Inner Rails to the Chassis.
3. Attach the End Brackets to the Rack.
4. Attach the End Brackets to the Rack
Separate the End Brackets from the Inner Rails
Separate the end brackets from the inner rails of each rail assembly:
1. Use the #2 Phillips head screwdriver to remove the end brackets from the rail assemblies. Each
end bracket is attached by 2 pan-head screws.
2. Keep the brackets and screws nearby. You will need to attach the brackets to the rack.
FIGURE 7 Inner Rails
18 | P a g e A 1 0 H a r m o n y T M C o n t r o l l e r 8 0 0 0 I n s t a l l a t i o n G u i d e
Attach the Inner Rails to the Chassis
To attach the inner rails to the chassis:
1. Align either one of the inner rails over the 10 screw holes in the side of the Harmony Controller
8000 chassis, as shown in the figure below.
FIGURE 8 Attaching Inner Rails to Chassis
2. Use the #2 Phillips head screwdriver to remove the flat-head screws that are under the screw
holes in the inner rail from the chassis.
3. Use the flat-head screws to attach the inner rail to the chassis.
4. Repeat for the other side of the chassis.
Attach the End Brackets to the Rack
To attach the end brackets to the rack, use two pan-head screws to attach each end bracket to the
rack.

FIGURE 9 Attaching End Brackets to Rack
NOTE: Do not tighten the screws yet. You will need to be able to adjust them when
inserting the chassis.
The example shown here is for a 4-post rack. To install in a 2-post rack, attach the end brackets to the
2 center posts.
Insert the Chassis into the Rack
Chassis Lifting and Placement
Lifting the chassis and placing it in the rails is a two-person job. If needed, use
an appropriate lifting device.
To insert the chassis:
1. Carefully lift the chassis into place, sliding the inner rail back into each of the 4 end brackets.
Make sure each inner rail is inserted into both of its end rails.
2. After the chassis is inserted into all 4 end brackets, tighten the screws that attach the end brackets
to the chassis.

Figure 10 shows an image of the front-mount brackets.
CAUTION: Do not attempt to mount the chassis using only these front brackets! The
brackets alone are not designed to support the weight of the chassis.
These brackets must be installed and used in conjunction with the sliding
rails.
Figure 11 shows an image of a rail assembly.
Required Tools To install the rail kit, you will need the following tools:
• Anti-static wrist strap and conductive foam pad (recommended)
• #1 Phillips-head screwdriver
• #2 Phillips-head screwdriver

Installation Instructions Installation consists of the following tasks:
1. Attach the Front Brackets to the Chassis
2. Attach the Inner Rails to the Chassis
3. Attach the Rail Assemblies to the Rack
4. Slide the Chassis into the Rack
Attach the Front Brackets to the Chassis
Use a #2 Phillips-head screwdriver to attach the front brackets to the chassis.
NOTE: Make a note of the chassis side (left or right) for each bracket. The
default brackets are labelled “L” and “R” (Left and Right). The front
brackets used for sliding-rail installation are labelled the same way.
Figure 12 shows the brackets attached to the chassis:
25 | P a g e A 1 0 H a r m o n y T M C o n t r o l l e r 8 0 0 0 I n s t a l l a t i o n G u i d e
Figure 13 shows how the front brackets would be aligned when inserting the chassis into the rack:
FIGURE 13 Front-Mount Brackets Alignment
Attach the Inner Rails to the Chassis
To attach the inner rails to the chassis:
1. Fully extend the rail assembly until the inner rail locks into place.
2. Release the inner rail by pressing down on the finger tab.
FIGURE 14 Attaching the Inner Rails to Chassis
3. Pull the inner rail completely free of the rail assembly.
26 | P a g e A 1 0 H a r m o n y T M C o n t r o l l e r 8 0 0 0 I n s t a l l a t i o n G u i d e
NOTE: On newer Harmony Controller systems, use the two shorter inner rails
instead of this single rail that you remove from the rail assembly (see Figure
9).
There is no need to separate any of the other rail assembly parts.
4. Align the inner rails to the side of the chassis. First, align the screw holes so that the screws fit
through the holes, then slide the inner rail towards the front of the chassis to secure the rail in
place.
FIGURE 15 Front-end of Chassis
You will need two inner rails per side; the figure below shows the inner rail on the back half of the chassis
on one side:
FIGURE 16 Rear-end of Chassis
27 | P a g e A 1 0 H a r m o n y T M C o n t r o l l e r 8 0 0 0 I n s t a l l a t i o n G u i d e
Attach the Rail Assemblies to the Rack
Perform the following steps for each rail assembly:
1. Align the 2 screw holes at the front of the rail assembly behind 2 screw holes in the front of the
rack.
2. Insert 3 screws and partially tighten them. Optionally, you can use the silver pan-head screws and
M5 hex nuts supplied with the rail kit.
NOTE: If you plan to use your own screws, please make sure they are not too long to
fit into the rail.
3. Extend the outer rail until it reaches the rear of the rack.
4. Insert 2 screws and partially tighten them.
5. After verifying that the rail is properly situated on the rack, tighten all 4 screws.
Figure 17 shows the front of a properly installed rail assembly on the rack.

Chassis Lifting and Placement
Lifting the chassis and placing it in the rails is a two-person job. If needed, use
an appropriate lifting device.
To slide the chassis into the rack:
1. With the front of the chassis facing you, lift the chassis and carefully insert the inner rails attached
to the chassis into the rail assemblies.
2. Gently push the chassis into the rack until the finger tab locks into place.
3. Continue pushing until the chassis is completely inserted into the rack.
