Figure 12: RS2000 Family 19” Rack Mount Adapters
Figure 13: Rack mount adapter mounting location
The RSG2000 family of products can be rack mounted using the included rack mount adapter
assemblies shown in Figure 12. Secure the one rack mount adapter to the front of each side of the
chassis using the included black PAN head philips screws in the positions shown in Figure 14. The
entire chassis can then be mounted to a standard 19” rack. An additional two rack mount adapters
are included to optionally secure the rear of the chassis in high-vibration, or seismically active
locations.
Note: Since heat within the RSG2100 is channeled to the enclosure, it is recommended that 1 rack
unit of space (1.75”) be kept unpopulated and free of equipment above each RSG2100 series
product to allow for a small amount of convectional airflow. Although forced airflow is not
necessary, any increase in airflow will result in a reduction of ambient temperature that will improve
long-term reliability of all equipment mounted within the rack space.
