Section 2.1.1

Mounting the Device to a Rack

For rack mount installations, the RSG2488 can be ordered with rack mount adapters pre-installed at the front and
rear of the chassis. Additional adapters are provided to further secure the device in high-vibration or seismically
active locations.
To secure the device to a standard 48 cm (19 in) rack, do the following:
1. Make sure the front and rear rack mount adapters are installed on the both sides of the chassis.
NOTE
The chassis features multiple mounting holes, allowing the rack mount adapters to be installed up
to 25 mm (1 in) from the face of the device.

2. Insert the device into the rack. To make the modules and ports accessible from the front, insert the power
supply side of the device first. Reverse the orientation to have the power supplies, management ports and
LEDs accessible from the front.
NOTE
Since heat within the device is channeled to the enclosure, it is recommended that 1 rack-unit
of space, or 44 mm (1.75 in), be kept empty above the device. This allows a small amount of
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.
3. Secure the adapters to the rack using the supplied hardware.
