38 Mechanical installation
Examining the installation site
The drive must be installed in an upright position with the cooling section against a
wall. All IP21 (UL Type 1) and IP55 drives and UL Type 12 drives of frames R1 to R3
can be installed tightly side by side. For UL Type 12 drives of frames R4 to R9, leave
100 mm (4 in) between the hoods.
Make sure that the installation site agrees with these requirements:
The installation site has sufficient ventilation to prevent overheating of the drive.
See section Losses, cooling data and noise on page 184.
The operation conditions of the drive agree with the specifications in section
Ambient conditions (page 197).
The wall is vertical, not flammable and strong enough to hold the weight of the
drive. See page 182.
The material below the installation is not flammable.
There is enough free space above and below the drive for cooling air flow, service
and maintenance. See page 182. There is enough free space in front of the drive
for operation, service and maintenance.
Necessary tools

Screwdriver and/or wrench with bits. The drive cover has Torx screws.
