2.3.1
Mounting the Device to a Rack
The RUGGEDCOM RSG2288 can be secured to a standard 48 cm (19 in) rack using
separately purchased rack mount adapters. The adapters can be installed at the front
or rear of the chassis.
Each adapter kit includes four adapters.
NOTICE
Vibration hazard – risk of damage to the device
In high-vibration or seismically active locations, always install four rack mount
adapters (two at the front of the chassis and two at the rear).
NOTICE
Electrical/mechanical hazard – risk of damage to the device
Before installing the device in a rack, make sure of the following:
• When installing the device in a closed or multi-device rack, be aware the
operating ambient temperature of the rack may be higher than the ambient
temperature of the room. Make sure the rack is installed in a suitable
environment that can withstand the maximum ambient temperature generated
by the rack.
• Make sure each device in the rack is separated by at least one rack-unit of space,
or 44 mm (1.75 in), to promote 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.
• Do not exceed the maximum number of devices or weight restrictions specified
by the rack manufacturer.
• Do not overload the supply circuit. Refer to the over-current protection and
power supply ratings specified by the rack manufacturer.
• Make sure the rack and all devices have a proper ground-to-Earth connection.
Pay particular attention to power supply connections other than direct
connections to the branch circuit (e.g. power strips).
