Installing Device
2.3.2 Mounting the Device on a DIN Rail
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.

Mounting the Device on a DIN Rail
For DIN rail installations, the RUGGEDCOM RS416PF can be equipped with panel/DIN
rail adapters pre-installed on each side of the chassis. The adapters allow the device
to be slid onto a standard 35 mm (1.4 in) DIN rail.
