System Rack_3500/05-01-01-00-00-00

The GE / Bently Nevada 3500/05 System Rack design holds all 3500 monitor modules and rack power supplies. It allows the various 3500 modules to communicate with one another and the power supplies to distribute power to each module as required. 

3500 Racks are manufactured in two sizes: 
1. Full-size Rack: 19-inch EIA rack with 14 available module slots 
2. Mini-Rack: 12-inch rack with 7 available module slots

3500 racks are manufactured in three formats: 
1. Panel mount: This rack format mounts to rectangular cut-outs in panels, and secures to the panel using clamps supplied with the rack. Wiring connections and I/O modules are accessible from the rear of the rack. 
2. Rack mount: This rack format mounts the 3500 rack on 19-inch EIA rails. Wiring connections and I/O modules are accessible from the rear of the rack.
3. Bulkhead mount: This rack format mounts the rack against a wall or panel when it is not possible to access the rear of the rack. Wiring connections and I/O modules are accessible from the front of the rack. The 3500/05 Mini-Rack is not available in this format.

The Power Supplies and Rack Interface Module must occupy the far left rack positions. The remaining 14 rack positions (7 rack positions for the Mini-Rack) are available for any combination of modules.
