Disconnecting the internal EMC filter
On certain types of systems, you must disconnect the internal EMC filter, otherwise 
the system will be connected to ground potential through the EMC filter capacitors, 
which might cause danger, or damage the drive. 
Note: When the internal EMC filter is disconnected, the drive is not EMC compatible.
The following table shows the installation rules for the EMC filter screws in order to 
connect or disconnect the filter, depending on the system type and the frame size. 
For more information on the different system types, see Floating networks on page 
12 and Unsymmetrically grounded networks on page 11.
The locations of screws EM1 and EM3 are shown in the diagram on page 8. The 
locations of screws F1 and F2 are shown in the diagram on page 9.
