Installing the Device This section describes how to install the device, including mounting the device, 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.
If any item is missing or damaged, contact Siemens for assistance. Cabling Recommendations Siemens does not recommend the use of copper cabling of any length for critical, real-time substation automation applications. All copper Ethernet ports on RUGGEDCOM products include transient suppression circuitry to protect against damage from electrical transients and conform with IEC 61850-3 and IEEE 1613 Class 1 standards.
Installing the Device 2.3.1 Mounting the Device on a DIN Rail Note For detailed dimensions of the device with either DIN rail or panel hardware installed, refer to "Dimension Drawings (Page 26)". 2.3.1 Mounting the Device on a DIN Rail For DIN rail installations, the RUGGEDCOM RS900GPF can be ordered with a DIN rail adapterthat can be affixed to the back of the chassis.

Installing the Device 2.3.2 Mounting the Device to a Panel Rear Mount Orientation Front Mount Orientation Side Mount Orientation Figure 2.4 Panel Mount Options Secure the adapters to the device in the desired orientation. Place the device against (side or rear mount orientation) or insert it into (front mount orientation) the panel and align the adapters with the mounting holes.
Installing the Device 2.4 Grounding the Device Install #6 screws (not supplied) to secure the adapters to the panel. Grounding the Device The RUGGEDCOM RS900GPF chassis features a threaded hole for connecting the device to ground (Earth). It is recommended to terminate the ground connection with an M3 ring or spade lug, and then torque to 1.7 N·m (15 lbf-in).
For IEC 61850 compliance, use an IEC 61850 compliant PoE power supply with power cabling no longer than 3 m (118 in). Otherwise, Siemens recommends using the RUGGEDCOM RPS1300 switch-mode AC power supply. For more information about this power supply, refer to https:// support.industry.siemens.com/cs/ww/en/view/109478699.

Device Management This section describes how to connect to and manage the device. Connecting to the Device The following describes the various methods for accessing the RUGGEDCOM RS900GPF console and Web interfaces on the device. For more detailed instructions, refer to the RUGGEDCOM RS900GPF User Guide for the RUGGEDCOM RS900GPF. Serial Console Port Connect a PC or terminal directly to the serial console port to access the boot-time control and RUGGEDCOM ROS console interface.
Device Management 3.2 Configuring the Device Name Description Reserved (Do Not Connect) Connected internally. Connected internally. Communication Ports Connect any of the available Ethernet ports on the device to a management switch and access the RUGGEDCOM RS900GPF console and Web interfaces via the device's IP address.
Communication Ports The RUGGEDCOM RS900GPF features eight standard 10/100Base-TX copper RJ45 Ethernet ports capable of Power-over-Ethernet (PoE). It can also be equipped with two additional Gigabit Ethernet capable ports, for which many fiber transceiver and copper options are available. Each communication port type has a specific place in the RUGGEDCOM RS900GPF chassis.
