14 Mechanical installation
Examining the installation site
Make sure that the installation site agrees with these requirements:
• The installation site has sufficient ventilation to prevent overheating of the drive.
See section Losses, cooling data and noise in the hardware manual for the
required air flow in the cooling air channel and in the front part of the drive.
• The operation conditions of the drive agree with the specifications in section
Ambient conditions in the hardware manual.
• The mounting plate is vertical, not flammable and strong enough to hold the
weight of the drive module.
• The material below the installation is not flammable.
• There is enough free space above and below the drive for cooling air flow, service
and maintenance. There is enough free space in front of the drive for operation,
service and maintenance. See section
Free space requirements on page 18 and
Dimensions, weights and free space requirements in the hardware manual.
Additional requirements for cabinet installations
Make sure that the cooling air gratings of the drive will not be covered. Make sure that
the required cooling air change is achieved. In a totally closed cabinet with no forced
ventilation, a fan for circulating the air inside the cabinet may be needed.
Necessary tools
• Drill and drill bits
• Screwdriver.
Moving the drive
Move the transport package by a pallet truck to the installation site.
