Section 2.3
Mounting the Device
The RUGGEDCOM M969F is designed to be mounted on a panel by affixing the top and bottom flanges of the
device to a panel using screws.
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.
NOTE
For detailed dimensions of the device with panel mount hardware installed, refer to Section 5.7,
“Dimension Drawings” .
To mount the device to a panel, do the following:
1. Place the device against the panel and align the flanges with the mounting holes.
