Note
Fastening the cable ducts
After performing repairs, refasten all cable ducts whose cover faces downward with a cable
tie. The cable ties must be located at the same positions as in the delivered state. You will find
more information in "Fastening the cable ducts with cable ties (Page 119)".
Note
Special investigation of defective components
You can return defective components, e.g. phase modules, PowerCards, etc. for a special
investigation. You can find more information here (http://support.automation.siemens.com/
