3.1 Mounting
Depending upon the configuration ordered, there are several ways to mount the
BL2 ...1000/2000/7000. Use the appropriate section below to mount the
BL2 ...1000/2000/7000.
When installing the BL2 ...1000/2000/7000 in a cabinet, follow these general rules:
– Verify clearances within the cabinet. Typically, leave at least 5 cm (2 in.) on each side
with 13 cm (5 in.) on the connector side.
– Drill all holes and make all cuts before beginning installation. Be sure to protect already
installed components from shavings during this procedure.
– Supporting panels must be at least 14 gauge to provide proper support.
– Make sure that there is adequate space around the heat sink to provide sufficient
cooling.
NOTE:
Install the BL2 ...1000/2000/7000 with adequate clearance around the heat sink to provide
sufficient air flow such that ambient temperatures do not exceed the operating limits.
Install cooling fan(s) in the enclosure, if necessary.
VESA mounting holes are available for the BL2 … 1000 and BL2 … 2000. However,
mounting the BL2…7000 using the VESA mounts will restrict airflow through the
convection booster and void any warranty.
Connectors and switches must be accessible. A wall panel thickness of 1.9 mm (14 ga.)
is required for correct mounting of a BL2 PPC ... to maintain IP65 protection.
NOTE:
Exceeding the system temperature limits can result in performance degradation of any or
all components. It is therefore important that the ambient temperature of the installation
environment is kept within the system temperature limits of your BL2 ...1000/2000/7000.
