is particularly suited for installation in consoles, cabinets and
panels.
The computing units with AC power supply meet the requirements of the fire
protection housing complying with EN60950. It can therefore be installed without
an additional fire enclosure;
The computing units with a DC power supply are considered open operating
resources (right side of device); therefore, the assembly design must fulfill the fire
protection housing requirements.

dust, moisture and heat.
