Installing the SIMATIC Rack PC IL
The Rack PC is suitable for vertical and horizontal fitting in consoles, switch boards
and 19" rack systems.
Notice
In the event of a vertical installation, make sure the right side of the device faces
up.
The Rack PC IL meets the requirements for a fire enclosure to EN 60950. It can
therefore be fitted without an additional fire enclosure.
Please note the following points when installing the PC:
•
Avoid extreme ambient conditions as far as possible. Protect your PC from
dust, moisture, and heat.
•
Keep the PC out of direct sunlight.
•
Mount the PC as safely as possible to prevent any danger (for example, by
falling over).
•
The clearance near the ventilation slots must be at least 50 mm, so that the PC
is sufficiently ventilated.
•
Make certain that the ventilation slots for the housing are not covered.
•
Make certain that the sliding door in front of the drives is closed during
operation.
•
The Rack PC IL can be mounted on telescopic rails or on cabinet brackets. It is
not permitted to mount it at the 19" front supports only.
•
Use the respective manufacturer's cabinet or rack slide rails or L-sections.
Contact your cabinet supplier directly regarding cabinet or rack installation.
•
The use of the telescopic rails makes it possible to completely pull the Rack
PC out of the cabinet or rack.
Notice
If the systems are installed without keeping to the conditions mentioned above,
the approvals pursuant to UL 1950 and EN60950 are no longer valid!
