2.3
Mounting the Device
The RUGGEDCOM M2100 is designed for maximum mounting and display flexibility.
It can be equipped with connectors that allow it to be installed in a 48 cm (19 in)
rack or directly on a panel.
NOTICE
Heat generated by the device is channeled outwards from the enclosure. As such, it
is recommended that 2.5 cm (1 in) of space be maintained on all open sides of the
device to allow for some convectional airflow.
For CSA compliant installations, a minimum forced airflow of 0.27 m/s at 400 CFM is
required.
Note that 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.
Note
For detailed dimensions of the device with either rack or panel hardware installed,
refer to
"Dimension Drawings (Page 30)"
