Chapter 3 Mount the Kinetix 5500 Drive System
Mount Your Kinetix 5500
Drive
This procedure assumes you have prepared your panel and understand how to
bond your system. For installation instructions regarding other equipment
and accessories, refer to the instructions that came with those products.
Follow these steps to mount your Kinetix 5500 drives to the panel.
1. Lay out the hole pattern for each Kinetix 5500 drive in the enclosure.
See Establishing Noise Zones on page 41
for panel layout
recommendations.
2. Drill holes in the panel for mounting your drive system.
Hole patterns, by frame size, are shown in Drill-hole Patterns
beginning
on page 49.
3. Loosely attach the mounting hardware to the panel.
The recommended mounting hardware is M4 (#8-32) steel bolts. Observe
bonding techniques as described in Bonding Modules on page 38
.
4. Attach the leftmost drive to the cabinet panel.
5. Attach additional drives (if any) just to the right of the previous drive by
using the same method, but also making sure that the zero-stack tabs
and cutouts are engaged.
Zero-stack mounting is required based on configuration, refer to the
Zero-stack Tab and Cutout Example
on page 46.
6. Tighten all mounting fasteners.
Apply 2.0 N•m (17.7 lb•in) maximum torque to each fastener.
IMPORTANT To improve the bond between the Kinetix 5500 drive and
subpanel, construct your subpanel out of zinc-plated (paint-free)
steel.
