Rack Spacing
When mounting multiple DNP3 I/O modules in a rack, or when mounting DNP3 I/O modules in a rack
with other equipment , verify that there is at least one rack unit (RU) of space above and below the
DNP03 I/O module to allow for cooling air flow and cable routing (1 RU = 1.75 inches or 44.5 mm).

The exterior dimensions of the DNP3 I/O module are:
Dimension Measurement
Width 19 inches (483 mm)
Height 5.25 inches (133.4 mm)
Depth 2.5 inches (63.5 mm)
Allow about 14 inches (356 mm) of total cabinet depth, to provide clearance for cables and maintenance
access.
