Installing the Device
2.3.1 Mounting the Device to a Rack
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.
Note
For detailed dimensions of the device with either rack, DIN rail or panel hardware
installed, refer to
"Dimension Drawings (Page 32)"
2.3.1
Mounting the Device to a Rack
For rack mount installations, the RUGGEDCOM RSG2488F can be ordered with rack
mount adapters pre-installed at the front and rear of the chassis. Additional adapters
are provided to further secure the device in high-vibration or seismically active
locations.
To secure the device to a standard 48 cm (19 in) rack, do the following:
1. Make sure the front and rear rack mount adapters are installed on the both sides
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.

to have the power supplies, management ports and LEDs accessible from the
front.
3. Secure the adapters to the rack using the supplied hardware.
2.3.2
Mounting the Device on a DIN Rail
The RUGGEDCOM RSG2488F can be ordered with DIN rail adapters preinstalled on
