Mounting the side panel
If the LCP DX is not bayed between two server enclo-
sures, close it off with a side panel.
Proceed as follows to assemble the side panel:
Remove the various assembly components from the
optional side panel package (Model. No. 8100.235) or
use those from a server enclosure which has already
been dismantled.
Using the assembly screws, mount the assembly
components (2 side panel mountings, 2 side panel
mounting brackets, 6 side panel holders) onto the side
of the LCP DX which is opposite to the server enclo-
sure.
Place both side panel mountings as symmetrically as
possible onto the upper mounting rail of the LCP DX
and, using your hand, press them firmly in place.
Screw down the two side panel mounting brackets
top and bottom in the centre of the mounting rail using
one screw each.
Screw down 3 side panel holders onto each of the two
side mounting rails with one screw each.
Mount a side panel onto the two side panel mountings
of the LCP DX and align them to the front and rear of
the unit.
Using the 8 assembly screws, screw the side panel
firmly onto the side panel holders and the side panel
mounting brackets.

External condenser
The installation site of the external condenser must be
selected in such a way as to ensure an adequate supply
and distribution of the airflow, even in unfavourable con-
ditions (see section 5.1.1 "Installation site require-
ments").
To ensure ease of access to the external condenser for
servicing purposes, a sufficiently large distance from the
surrounding walls must be ensured.
It is also important to ensure that no foreign bodies such
as leaves can be drawn into the condenser.
With unprotected siting of the external condenser, it is
important to prevent unwanted external air streams
through the condenser (e.g. via console installation).
Such air streams and other weather factors may alter the
control response of the LCP DX.

Console installation
The condenser is weather-resistant and may therefore
be installed completely in the open air, with no need for
a weather protection canopy etc. If the condenser is in-
stalled underneath a canopy, there must be a distance
of at least 4 m between the floor and the canopy.
Fig. 17:
Minimum distances with vertical mounting.
If the distance is less than 4 m, the condenser must be
mounted in such a way that the air outlet is horizontal.

Caution! Risk of injury!
The side panel holders have sharp-
edged teeth, to enable earthing of the
side panel through the LCP DX.
Note:
The following instructions on siting the exter-
nal condenser apply equally to all condenser
types available at Rittal.
Note:
Opening "A" must be at least as large as the
front of the condenser.
