Mounting the Device
The RUGGEDCOM M2100F is designed for maximum mounting and display flexibili-
ty. 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.
Forced airflow is not required. However, any increase in airflow will result in a reduc-
tion 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,
