in machine and plant engineering applications.
The ambient conditions specified for operation must be observed (see
chapter
Technical data ).
Preparation of the control

opening for the computer unit according to the PC’s dimensions (see
chapter
Assembly dimensions ).
Circulation of air

The PC should not be exposed to direct sunlight.
•
When the unit is in its mounting position, the ventilation openings must
not be obstructed.

cabinet wall, in which the computer is being installed.
