Use the package insert to make sure that the contents are complete. Storage and transportation The XP-503 is sturdily built, but the components inside it are sensitive to excessively strong vibrations and mechanical shock. Accordingly, make sure to protect the XP-503 from excessively large mechanical loads.
Make sure that there will be enough volume for air changes inside the control panel, etc. There must be a clearance of at least 50 mm around the XP-503. The clearance behind it can be reduced to 20 mm if necessary.
The dimensions for the mounting cutout can be found in the"Fitting dimensions" section (for the relevant device) of the "Mechanical dimensions" chapter Make sure that there is also sufficient clearance for removing the XP-503 from the mounting cutout. XP-503 12/2014 MN048014-EN www.eaton.com...
4.4.5 Fixing and sealing Built-in mounting in cabinets, etc. The XP-503 is designed to be built-in mounted in control panels and swing frames.

Protect Mode Save Operation When the Eaton XP-503 unit’s Protect Mode is active the unit is protected against any changes to data stored on the C:\ drive. In order to save desired data changes to the C:\ drive the Protect Mode Save operation must be run, extensive changes to C:\ drive (software installations) must be executed with Protect Mode disabled.
Page 47
Protect Mode is active and enabled at the factory but it is possible for the user to disable the Protect Mode feature of the XP-503. Reasons for doing so include the need to install a software program that is very large or one that requires multiple reboots to complete its installation.
Administrator XP-503 passwords are case sensitive) The XP-503 is set up to automatically log in to the Administrator account, which is why the normal Windows Security dialog box does not appear upon boot-up.
