Section 2.1.1
Mounting the Device to a Rack
For rack mount installations, the RSG2200 can be equipped with rack mount adapters pre-installed at the front or
rear of the chassis. Additional adapters are provided to further secure the device in high-vibration or seismically
active locations.
To secure the device to a standard 48 cm (19 in) rack, do the following:
NOTE
The device can be ordered with the communication ports located at the front or rear of the device.
Placing the ports at the rear allows all data and power cabling to be installed and connected at the rear
of the rack.
1.
Make sure the rack mount adapters are installed on the correct side of the chassis.
NOTE
The chassis features multiple mounting holes, allowing the rack mount adapters to be installed up
to 25 mm (1 in) from the face of the device.

2.
If required, install adapters on the opposite side of the device to protect from vibrations.
3.
Insert the device into the rack.
NOTE
Since heat within the device is channelled 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.
4.
Secure the adapters to the rack using the supplied hardware.
