Setting Up and Using Your PowerStrip or PowerBrite Setting up your PS9, PB9, or Pro7 is a simple procedure which takes only a few minutes: 1. Remove all packing materials (save them in case of need for future service) and install the unit in a standard 19" rack. We recommend that the PB9 and Pro7 be placed in the top slot so that its slide-out fluorescent light can be used to illuminate the entire rack of equipment below. 2. Connect the PS9, PB9, or Pro7 to any standard grounded AC outlet.

Changing the PowerBrite Bulb The 4-watt fluorescent bulb in your PowerBrite PB9 and Pro7 is rated to deliver approximately 3,000 hours of operation. That’s a long time, to be sure, but there will probably come a time when you’ll need to replace it. The good news is that the bulb itself is readily available at most hardware stores and electrical supply houses—the type number is “F4T5CW”—and you can replace it yourself in less than a minute with just a small flat-head screwdriver (a jeweler’s s

Appendix A: Fluorescent Or Incandescent? There are numerous advantages to using the kind of fluorescent lighting provided by the PowerBrite PB9 and PowerBrite Pro7 over the incandescent lighting provided by competing rack light products. Here are the main points to consider when making your purchase: • Fluorescent bulbs generate almost no heat at all; incandescent bulbs can generate large amounts of heat. • Fluorescent bulbs last approximately 50% longer than incandescent ones, with a typical li

Changing the PowerBrite Nameplate After you have received your new Neo-Rack film, it’s a simple matter to install it. Begin by unplugging your PowerBrite and then unplug all devices connected to the rear and/or front panel outlets. Remove the PowerBrite from your rack and use both fingers to press gently on the two “Push” squares on the slide-out drawer so that it extends out towards you. With the drawer extended, turn the PowerBrite upside down. As described on page 10 in this manual, remo
