Mounting the Device to a Rack
For rack mount installations, the RUGGEDCOM RS416P 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.
