The cabinet frame is sturdy enough to carry the weight of the drive components,
control circuitry and other equipments installed in it.
The cabinet protects the drive module against contact and meets the requirements for
dust and humidity specified in Technical data on page 319.
The layout is spacious enough for easy installation and maintenance. There should be
sufficient space for cooling air flow, obligatory clearances, cables and cable support
