The proper method for removing power from the unit is to switch off power at the circuit
breaker.
The IPC must be mounted with its cooling fins vertical to ensure adequate airflow.
The panel should be capable of supporting the weight of the industrial computer without
distortion to the panel.
Adequate airflow around the exterior of the unit is essential to maintain safe interior
temperature of the unit. Inlets and outlets must not be obstructed. For details, see page 13.
You may need to allow more space for installation of cables and connectors than what is
required for heat dissipation. To avoid impacting mechanical reliability and signal quality,
cable installation must comply with the minimum bend radius specified by the cable
manufacturer.
