MicroSD Port 6. Port Status Indicator LEDs RS232 Serial Console Port This port is for interfacing directly with the device and access initial management functions.
Mounting the Device The RSG2488 is designed for maximum mounting and display flexibility. It can be ordered with connectors that allow it to be installed in a 48 cm (19 in) rack, 2.5 cm (1 in) DIN rail, or directly on a panel.
Mounting the Device to a Rack For rack mount installations, the RSG2488 can be ordered with rack mount adaptors pre-installed at the front or rear of the chassis. Additional adaptors are provided to further secure the device in high-vibration or seismically active locations.
Section 2.1.2 Mounting the Device on a DIN Rail For panel installations, the RSG2488 can be ordered with panel/DIN rail adaptors pre-installed on each side of the chassis. The adaptors allow the device to be attached to a panel using screws.
Section 2.2 Installing/Removing Power Supplies The RSG2488 supports dual redundant AC and/or DC power supplies that can be installed in any combination. IMPORTANT! • In a high AC/DC and low DC (24/48 V) power supply arrangement, either power supply can be installed in slot PM1 or PM2.
RUGGEDCOM RSG2488 Chapter 2 Installation Guide Installing the Device • The socket outlet/disconnect device must be installed near the device and be easily accessible. • Equipment must be installed according to applicable local wiring codes and standards. The following sections describe how to install, remove and wire the power supplies: •...
Wiring Power Supply Terminal Blocks The RSG2488 can be equipped with screw-type or insulated terminal blocks for high or low AC/DC power input. Connect the terminal blocks to the HI and LO terminal ports on the rear face of the device.

Chapter 2 RUGGEDCOM RSG2488 Installing the Device Installation Guide Figure 11: Single DC Power Supply Wiring Figure 12: Dual DC Power Supply Wiring Figure 13: Dual AC/DC Power Supply Wiring Section 2.3 Connecting the Failsafe Alarm Relay The failsafe relay is provided to identify criticial error conditions. The contacts are energized when the device is powered-up and remain energized unless a critical error occurs.
Section 2.4 Grounding the Device The RSG2488 chassis ground connection uses a #6-32 screw. It is recommended to terminate the ground connection with a #6 ring or spade lug and torque it to 1.7 Nm (15 lbf-in). Figure 15: Chassis Ground Connection 1.
1 standards. This means that during a transient electrical event, communications erorrs or interruptions may occur, but recovery is automatic. RuggedCom also does not recommend using copper Ethernet ports to interface with devices in the field across distances that could produce high levels of ground potential rise (i.e. greater than 2500 V), during line-to-ground fault conditions.
Section 2.6 Connecting to the Device The RS232 serial console port on the front of the RSG2488 device provides access to the boot-time control and configuration menu interface, as well as a console connection to the ROS™ Web interface. Figure 16: Serial Console Port 1.

Upon installing a new module in the device, all the features associated to the module are available in the operating system. For more information, refer to the ROS User Guide for the RSG2488. To install a module, do the following: Make sure power to the device has been disconnected and wait approximately two minutes for any remaining energy to dissipate.
Section 3.3 Installing/Removing SFP Optical Ports The RSG2488 can be ordered with SFP (Small Form-factor Pluggable) optics modules. The optical ports in these modules can be safely inserted and removed while the chassis is powered and operating. The following sections describe how to install and remove SFP optical ports: •...
To install an SFP optical port, do the following: CAUTION! Electrical hazard – risk of damage to equipment. Use only components certified by RuggedCom with RuggedCom products. Damage to the module and device may occur if compatibility and reliability have not been properly assessed.
