Introduction
Feature Highlights 1
Introduction
The RUGGEDCOM RS900F is a 9-port utility-grade, fully managed Ethernet switch specifically designed to operate
reliably in electrically harsh and climatically demanding environments.
The RUGGEDCOM RS900F provides a high level of immunity to electromagnetic interference and heavy electrical
surges typical of environments found on plant floors and curb-side traffic control cabinets. An operating
temperature range of -40 to 85 °C (-40 to 185 °F) coupled with hazardous location certification (Class I Division
2), optional conformal coating and a galvanized steel enclosure allows the RUGGEDCOM RS900F to be placed in
almost any location.
The RUGGEDCOM RS900F can be mounted on a DIN rail or panel for efficient use of cabinet space.
The integrated power supply supports a wide range of voltages (88-300 VDC or 85-264 VAC) for worldwide
operability, as well as dual-redundant, reversible polarity, 24 VDC and 48 VDC power supply inputs for high
availability applications requiring dual or backup power inputs.
The RUGGEDCOM RS900F's superior ruggedized design and embedded RUGGEDCOM Rugged Operating System
(ROS) provides superior system reliability and advanced networking features making it ideally suited for creating
Ethernet networks for mission-critical, real-time, control applications.

Decommissioning and Disposal
Proper decomissioning and disposal of this device is important to prevent malicious users from obtaining
proprietary information and to protect the environment.
Decommissioning
This device may include sensitive, proprietary data. Before taking the device out of service, either permanently or
for maintenance by a third-party, make sure it has been fully decommissioned.
For more information, refer to the associated User Guide.
Recycling and Disposal
For environmentally friendly recycling and disposal of this device and related accessories, contact a facility
certified to dispose of waste electrical and electronic equipment. Recycling and disposal must be done in
accordance with local regulations.
Section1.5
Cabling Recommendations
All copper Ethernet ports on RUGGEDCOM products include transient suppression circuitry to protect against
damage from electrical transients and conform with IEC 61850-3 and IEEE 1613 Class I standards. This means that
during a transient electrical event, communications errors or interruptions may occur, but recovery is automatic.
Siemens also does not recommend using copper Ethernet ports to interface with devices in the field across
distances that could produce high levels of ground potential rise (i.e. greater than 2500 V), during line-to-ground
fault conditions.

Tamper-Evident Security Seals
In compliance with the security requirements of the Federal Information Processing Standards (FIPS140-2), FIPS-
compliant tamper-evident security seals are applied to potential access points on this device. Security seals provide
evidence of unauthorized tampering or removal of components.
IMPORTANT!
Worn, damaged or missing seals must be replaced immediately.
Replacement seals are available for purchase from Siemens. For more information, contact a Siemens
Sales representative.
There are three ways to determine if a security seal has been tampered with:
• The seal is cut or torn
• A pattern is left on the device when the top layer of the seal is removed
• Residue left by the seal is visible on the device under ultra-violet light
For information about the placement of security seals, refer to the RUGGEDCOM ROS-F FIPS 140-2 Non-Proprietary
Security Policy [https://support.industry.siemens.com/cs/ww/en/view/109757984].

Section2.4
Mounting the Device
The RUGGEDCOM RS900F is designed for maximum mounting and display flexibility. It can be equipped with
adapters that allow it to be installed on a 35 mm (1.4 in) DIN rail or affixed to a panel.

Chapter 2
Installing the Device
RUGGEDCOM RS900F
Installation Guide
10 Mounting the Device on a DIN Rail
IMPORTANT!
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 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 DIN rail or panel hardware installed, refer to
Section5.7, “Dimension Drawings”.

Section2.4.1
Mounting the Device on a DIN Rail
For DIN rail installations, the RS900F can be equipped with a DIN rail bracket pre-installed on the back of the
chassis. The bracket allows the device to be slid or clipped onto a standard 35 mm (1.4 in) DIN rail.
To mount the device to a DIN rail, do the following:
1. Align the slot in the bracket with the DIN rail.
