Introduction
1.4Decommissioning and Disposal
1.4 Decommissioning and Disposal
Proper decommissioning 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 "Configuration Manual".
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.
1.5 Cabling Recommendations
Siemens recommends using RUGGEDCOM industrial Ethernet shielded cables for all
Ethernet ports.
Siemens does not recommend the use of copper cabling of any length for critical,
real-time substation automation applications. 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
1 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.
1.5.1 Supported Fiber Optic Cables
The following fiber optic cable types are supported under the stated conditions.
Distance (m)Cable Type Wavelength (nm) Modal Bandwidth

1.6 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.
NOTICE
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 M969F FIPS 140-2 Non-Proprietary Security Policy [https://
support.industry.siemens.com/cs/ww/en/view/109757984]".
1.7 Ingress Protection
IEC International Standard 60529 (Edition 2.1: 2001-02) is a "classification of degrees
of protection provided by enclosures as a system for specifying the enclosures
of electrical equipment on the basis of the degree of protection provided by the
enclosure." These ratings are determined by specific tests.
The RUGGEDCOM M969F Industrial Ethernet Switch is manufactured and tested
to IP67 standards. With an IP67 rating a product will be "dust tight" and remain
completely sealed when immersed in water to a depth of 1 meter for 1 hour (IEC
60529).
These caps completely seal off unused ports on the IP67 Industrial Ethernet Switch. It
has an IP67 rated seal that keeps out all contaminants like dirt, oil, and water.

Installing the Device 2
This chapter describes how to install the device, including mounting the device,
connecting power, and connecting the device to the network.
DANGER
Electrocution hazard – risk of serious personal injury and/or damage to
equipment
Before performing any maintenance tasks, make sure all power to the device has
been disconnected and wait approximately two minutes for any remaining energy
to dissipate.
WARNING
Radiation hazard – risk of serious personal injury
This product contains a laser system and is classified as a CLASS 1 LASER PRODUCT.
Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures other than those
specified herein may result in hazardous radiation exposure.
CAUTION
Burn hazard – risk of personal injury
The surface of the device may be hot during operation, or as a result of the ambient
air temperature.
Wear appropriate personal protective equipment and use caution when working
with or around the device.
NOTICE
This product contains no user-serviceable parts. Attempted service by unauthorized
personnel shall render all warranties null and void.
Changes or modifications not expressly approved by Siemens Canada Ltd. could
invalidate specifications, test results, and agency approvals, and void the user's
authority to operate the equipment.
NOTICE
This product should be installed in a restricted access location where access can only
be gained by authorized personnel who have been informed of the restrictions and
any precautions that must be taken. Access must only be possible through the use
of a tool, lock and key, or other means of security, and controlled by the authority
responsible for the location.
RUGGEDCOM M969F
Installation Manual, 11/2022, C79000-G8976-1349-04 9

Installing the Device
2.1General Procedure
2.1 General Procedure
The general procedure for installing the device is as follows:
NOTICE
The user is responsible for the operating environment of the device, including
maintaining the integrity of all protective conductor connections and checking
equipment ratings. Make sure to review all operating and installation instructions
before commissioning or performing maintenance on the device.
1. Review the relevant certification information for any regulatory requirements.
For more information, refer to "Approvals" (Page 39).
2. Mount the device.
3. Connect the failsafe alarm relay.
4. Connect power to the device and ground the device to safety Earth.
5. Connect the device to the network.
6. Configure the device.
2.2 Unpacking the Device
When unpacking the device, do the following:
1. Inspect the package for damage before opening it.
2. Visually inspect each item in the package for any physical damage.
3. Verify all items are included.
Note
If any item is missing or damaged, contact Siemens for assistance.
2.3 Mounting the Device
The RUGGEDCOM M969F is designed to be mounted on a panel by affixing the top
and bottom flanges of the device to a panel using screws.
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
reduction of ambient temperature and improve the long-term reliability of all
equipment mounted in the rack space.

Installing the Device
2.4Connecting the Failsafe Alarm Relay
Note
For detailed dimensions of the device with panel mount hardware installed, refer to
"Dimension Drawings" (Page 25).
To mount the device to a panel, do the following:
1. Place the device against the panel and align the flanges with the mounting
holes.

Figure2.1 Panel Mounting (Typical)
2. Install the supplied screws to secure the flanges to the panel.
2.4 Connecting the Failsafe Alarm Relay
The Failsafe output relay is provided to signal critical error conditions that may occur
on the RUGGEDCOM M969F series switches. The contacts are energized upon power
up of the unit and remain energized until a critical error occurs.
One common application for this output is to signal an alarm if a power failure or
removal of control power occurs.
