For panel installations, the RUGGEDCOM MX5000 can be equipped with adapters
pre-installed on each side of the chassis. The adapters allow the device to be
attached to a panel using screws.

Insert the device into the rack.
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 the supplied hardware.
