Chapter 2 Plan the Kinetix 5500 Drive System Installation
Minimum Clearance Requirements
This section provides information to assist you in sizing your cabinet and
positioning your Kinetix 5500 drive:
• Additional clearance is required for cables and wires or the shared-bus
connection system that is connected to the top of the drive.
• Additional clearance is required if other devices are installed above and/
or below the drive and have clearance requirements of their own.
• Additional clearance left and right of the drive is required when mounted
next to noise sensitive equipment or clean wireways.
• The recommended minimum cabinet depth is 300 mm (11.81 in.).
