Mounting The Device; Mounting The Device To A Rack - Siemens RUGGEDCOM RX1501 Installation Manual

2.3

Mounting the Device

The RUGGEDCOM RX1501 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.
IMPORTANT
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
2.3.1

Mounting the Device to a Rack

For rack mount installations, the RUGGEDCOM RX1501 can be equipped with rack
mount adapters pre-installed at the front or rear of the chassis. Additional adapters
are provided for added stability.
Vibration hazard – risk of damage to the device.
Always use four rack mount adapters (two at the front of the device and two at the
rear) when installing the device in high-vibration or seismically active locations.
Electrical/mechanical hazard – risk of damage to the device.
Before installing the device in a rack, make sure of the following:

NOTICE
NOTICE
When installing the device in a closed or multi-device rack, be aware that the op-
erating ambient temperature of the rack may be higher than the ambient tem-
perature of the room. Make sure the rack is installed in a suitable environment
that can withstand the maximum ambient temperature generated by the rack.
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 pow-
er 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 connec-
tions to the branch circuit (e.g. power strips).
