RUGGEDCOM RSG2300 Chapter 2 Installation Guide Installing Device Installing Device The following sections describe how to install the device, including mounting the device, installing/removing modules, connecting power, and connecting the device to the network. DANGER! Electrocution hazard – risk of serious personal injury and/or damage to equipment. Before performing any maintenance tasks, make sure all power to the device has been disconnected and wait approximately two minutes for any remaining energy to dissipate.
Mounting the Device The RUGGEDCOM RSG2300 is designed for maximum mounting and display flexibility. 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.
Section 2.3.1 Mounting the Device to a Rack The RUGGEDCOM RSG2300 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.
Mounting the Device on a DIN Rail For DIN rail installations, the RUGGEDCOM RSG2300 can be equipped with panel/DIN rail adapters pre-installed on each side of the chassis. The adapters allow the device to be slid onto a standard 35 mm (1.4 in) DIN rail.
Section 2.3.3 Mounting the Device to a Panel For panel installations, the RUGGEDCOM RSG2300 can be equipped with panelDIN rail adapters pre-installed on each side of the chassis. The adapters allow the device to be attached to a panel using screws.
The RUGGEDCOM RSG2300 supports a single or dual redundant AC and/or DC power supplies. The RUGGEDCOM RSG2300 can be equipped with either a screw-type or pluggable terminal block, which provides power to both power supplies. The screw-type terminal block is installed using Phillips screws and compression plates, allowing either bare wire connections or crimped terminal lugs.
RUGGEDCOM RSG2300 Chapter 2 Installation Guide Installing Device • Section 2.5.2, “Wiring Examples” Section 2.5.1 Connecting AC or DC Power To connect a single high AC, high DC or low DC power supply to the device, do the following: CAUTION! Electrical hazard – risk of damage to equipment. Before testing the dielectric strength (HIPOT) in the field, remove the metal jumper.
