Mounting Your 1394 
SERCOS interface System
The procedures in this section assume you have prepared your panel 
and understand how to bond your system. For installation instructions 
regarding equipment and accessories not included here, refer to the 
instructions that came with those items.
1. Layout the position for your 1394 in the enclosure (refer to 
Establishing Noise Zones for panel layout recommendations). 
Mounting hole dimensions for the 1394 are shown in Appendix A.
Note: For help with the mounting hole layout for any combination 
of axis modules, refer to Determining Your System Mounting 
Hole Layout on page 1-8.
2. Install the top mounting fasteners on the subpanel for the system 
module and all axis modules. The heads of the fasteners should be 
at least 6.35 mm (0.25 in.) from the panel. Make sure the 1394 is 
properly bonded to the subpanel. Refer to the section HF Bonding 
Your System for proper bonding techniques.
3. Hang the 1394 system module on the two fasteners on the left side 
of the subpanel.
