2.12 Rules for the Arrangement of Modules
Arrangement of the Modules
You only need to observe two rules for rack mounting of the modules:
• In all racks, the power supply module must always be inserted on the extreme
left (beginning with slot 1). In the UR2-H from slot 1 in both segments.
• The receive IM in the ER must always be inserted on the extreme right. In the
UR2-H at slot 9 once per segment.
Note
Establish whether there are additional regulations applying to all modules not
described in this manual.
The following table shows which modules can be used in the different racks:

Space Requirement of the Racks
In the S7-400 system, there are modules occupying one, two, or three slots (width
25, 50, or 75 mm). Refer to the technical specifications of the module under the
keyword “dimensions” to see how many slots a module occupies.
The mounting depth of a rack fitted with modules is 237 mm maximum.
