Recommendedmaintenance soultions.• Prefered solution: put silica gel bags (type of desiccant) inside the cabinets. Silica gelbags should not be in direct contact with metal parts because they can causecorrosion after saturation. The required bag quantity can be calculated based onprotection capacity and cabinet dimension. Close all the doors and cover the drive withplastic film and seal it by tape as tight as possble. That will provide protection againstdust, salty air or pest during storage.ABB offered desiccant is 3ABD00005991 (500g/bag).
