2.2 Mechanical Installation
This section outlines specifications, procedures, and environment for proper mechanical installation of the drive.
◆
Installation Environment (Heatsink-Cooled Drive, Finless Drive)
To help prolong the optimum performance life of the drive, install the drive in the proper environment. The table below
provides a description of the appropriate environment for the drive.
Table 2.1 Installation Environment
NOTICE:
Prevent foreign matter such as metal shavings or wire clippings from falling into the drive during installation and project
construction. Failure to comply could result in damage to the drive. Place a temporary cover over the top of the drive during
installation. Remove the temporary cover before startup, as the cover will reduce ventilation and cause the drive to overheat.
NOTICE:
Avoid placing drive peripheral devices, transformers, or other electronics near the drive as the noise created can lead to
erroneous operation. If such devices must be used in close proximity to the drive, take proper steps to shield the drive from noise.

unit or derate drive capacity.
Refer to Temperature Derating on page 314
Drive reliability improves in environments without wide temperature fluctuations.
When using an enclosure panel, install a cooling fan or air conditioner in the area to ensure that the air temperature
inside the enclosure does not exceed the specified levels.
Do not allow ice to develop on the drive.

• metal shavings, oil, water or other foreign materials
• radioactive materials
• combustible materials (e.g., wood)
• harmful gases and liquids
• excessive vibration
• chlorides
• direct sunlight
