Mounting the Device

The RUGGEDCOM RSG2100 is designed for maximum mounting and display flexibili-
ty. It can be equipped with connectors that allow it to be installed in a 48 cm (19 in)
rack, 35 mm (1.4 in) DIN rail, or directly on a panel.
NOTICE
Heat generated by the device is channeled outwards from the enclosure. As such, it
is recommended that 2.5 cm (1 in) of space be maintained on all open sides of the
device to allow for some convectional airflow.
Forced airflow is not required. However, any increase in airflow will result in a reduc-
tion 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 in-
stalled, refer to
2.4.1

Mounting the Device to a Rack

The RUGGEDCOM RSG2100 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.
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).
Electrical/mechanical hazard – risk of damage to the device
Before installing the device in a rack, make sure of the following:

CAUTION
CAUTION
When installing the device in a closed or multi-device rack, be aware the operat-
ing ambient temperature of the rack may be higher than the ambient tempera-
ture 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 re-
quired. 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.
