Specifying an Enclosure When the system is installed in an enclosure it must meet the UL508
requirements for the installation environment; hold the modules securely,
provide mechanical protection and should not interfere with other system
components. The enclosure must also be able to handle the heat dissipated by
the modules and other components/devices included in the same enclosure.
