The RSG2488 chassis ground terminal uses an M3 screw. It is recommended to terminate the ground connection
with an M3 ring or spade lug and torque it to 1.7 N·m (15 lbf-in).

Connecting Power
The RUGGEDCOM RSG2488 supports dual redundant AC and/or DC power supplies that can be installed in any
combination. The use of two power modules is recommended to provide redundancy and load balancing.
The RUGGEDCOM RSG2488 can be equipped with either a screw-type or pluggable terminal block, which provides
power to both power supplies. The screw-type terminal block is installed using Phillips screws and compression
plates, allowing either bare wire connections or crimped terminal lugs. Use #6 size ring lugs for secure, reliable
connections under severe shock or vibration.
