Risk of injury if subjected to irregular mechanical strain
The device must be mounted in the rack so that even if there is irregular mechanical
strain, no dangerous situation can result.
Damage to the device due to inadequate cooling
If the ventilation grilles are fully or partly covered or the air filters are contaminated,
the temperature inside the housing can rise and exceed the maximum permitted
temperature and damage the device.
During installation, select a mounting position so that the ventilation grilles are
always free so that the air can circulate. The ventilation grilles are located on the
side panels of the housing. You will find information about cleaning the air filter in
the section "Upkeep and maintenance".
4 Mounting
4.1 19" rack mounting of the PS598-1
Power supply unit for 19" rack installation
The PS598-1 was developed specifically for use with devices of the XR500 product
group. This power supply unit can be mounted directly above or below a SCALANCE
XR500 since the ventilation grilles are on the sides of both the basic device and the
power supply unit.
