Selection Tips

• Confirm your rack series (RX7i vs RX3i) before ordering — part numbers are not interchangeable
• For redundant CPU configurations, order matching faceplates for both primary and backup modules
• Consider conformal-coated variants if operating in corrosive atmospheres
• Check module depth to ensure the faceplate does not interfere with door closure
