Mounting the Device

The RUGGEDCOM RS8000T 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.
IMPORTANT
Heat generated by the device is channeled outwards from the enclosure. As such, it
is recommended that 2.5 cm (1 in) of space be maintained on all open sides of the
device to allow for some 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.
