Mounting the Device to a Panel

For panel installations, the RUGGEDCOM RST2228P can be ordered with panel
adapters for each side of the chassis. The adapters allow the device to be attached to
a panel using screws.
To mount the device to a panel, do the following:

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 orienta-
tion 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.
Secure the adapters to the rack using M6 or #10-32 screws.
Secure the mounting adapters to both sides of the chassis.
