You can install drive models 2004xB to 2082xB and 4002xB to 4044xB side-by-side.

When you install other drives side-by-side, make sure that you keep the necessary clearances between the drives for single drive installation.

To install these models side-by-side, make sure that there is sufficient space as shown in Figure 1. Set L8-35 = 1 [Installation Method Selection = Side-by-Side Mounting].

Derate the output current to align with the ambient temperature. Refer to Derating Depending on Ambient Temperature for more information.

Figure 1. Installation Clearances for More than One Drive (Side-by-Side)
  • 50 mm (2 in) minimum
  • 30 mm (1.2 in) minimum on each side
  • 2 mm (0.08 in) minimum between each drive
  • 120 mm (4.7 in) minimum above and below
Note:

  • When you do side-by-side installations of drives that have different dimensions, align the tops of the drives. This will make it easier to replace the cooling fans.

  • Remove the top protective covers of all drives when you mount IP20/UL Type 1 drives side-by-side.
