Mounting the Device to a Rack
For installations, the RUGGEDCOM MX5000 can be equipped with 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:
1. Make sure the adapters are installed on the correct side of the chassis.
• To make the modules and ports accessible, install the adapters at the rear of the chassis
• To make the management ports and LEDs accessible, install the adapters at the front of the chassis
NOTE
The chassis features multiple mounting holes, allowing the adapters to be installed up to 25 mm
(1 in) from the face of the device.
