Removable Power Dissipation from Cabinets (Example)
The removable power dissipation from a cabinet is governed by the type of cabinet,
its ambient temperature, and the arrangement of equipment in the cabinet.
Figure 2-2 shows a diagram with guide values for the permissible ambient
temperature of a cabinet measuring 600 x 600 x 2000 mm as a function of power
dissipation. These values only apply if you observe the specified installation
dimensions and clearances for racks. Further information can be found in Siemens
catalogs NV21 and ET1.

Warning
Modules can be damaged.
Modules can be damaged by subjecting them to excessively high ambient
temperature.
In the case of modules with hard drives, in particular, ensure that they are not
subjected to an excessively high ambient temperature.
