Installing Device
Forced airflow is not required. However, any increase in airflow will result in a reduction of ambient
temperature and improve the long-term reliability of all equipment mounted in the rack space.
NOTE
For detailed dimensions of the device with either rack, DIN rail or panel hardware installed, refer to

Mounting the Device to a Rack

The RUGGEDCOM RSG2300P can be secured to a standard 48 cm (19 in) rack using separately purchased rack
mount adapters. The adapters can be installed at the front or rear of the chassis.
Each adapter kit includes four adapters.
CAUTION!
Vibration hazard – risk of damage to the device. In high-vibration or seismically active locations,
always install four rack mount adapters (two at the front of the chassis and two at the rear).
CAUTION!
Electrical/mechanical hazard – risk of damage to the device. Before installing the device in a rack,
make sure of the following:
• When installing the device in a closed or multi-device rack, be aware the operating ambient
temperature of the rack may be higher than the ambient temperature of the room. Make sure the
rack is installed in a suitable environment that can withstand the maximum ambient temperature
generated by the rack.
• Make sure each device in the rack is separated by at least one rack-unit of space, or 44 mm (1.75 in),
to promote convectional airflow. Forced airflow is not required. However, any increase in airflow will
result in a reduction of ambient temperature and improve the long-term reliability of all equipment
mounted in the rack space.
• Do not exceed the maximum number of devices or weight restrictions specified by the rack
manufacturer.
• Do not overload the supply circuit. Refer to the over-current protection and power supply ratings
specified by the rack manufacturer.
• Make sure the rack and all devices have a proper ground-to-Earth connection. Pay particular
attention to power supply connections other than direct connections to the branch circuit (e.g. power
strips).
To secure the device to a standard 48 cm (19 in) rack, do the following:
