Choose a Location for the UTM

The UTM is suitable for use in an office environment where it can be freestanding (on its
runner feet) or mounted into a standard 19-inch equipment rack. Alternatively, you can
rack-mount the UTM in a wiring closet or equipment room. A rack-mounting kit, containing
two mounting brackets and four screws, is provided in the package for the multiple WAN port
models.
Consider the following when deciding where to position the UTM:
• The unit is accessible, and cables can be connected easily.
• Cabling is away from sources of electrical noise. These include lift shafts, microwave
ovens, and air-conditioning units.
• Water or moisture cannot enter the case of the unit.
• Airflow around the unit and through the vents in the side of the case is not restricted.
Provide a minimum of 25 mm or 1 inch clearance.
• The air is as free of dust as possible.
• Temperature operating limits are not likely to be exceeded. Install the unit in a clean,
air-conditioned environment. For information about the recommended operating
temperatures for the UTM, see
Specifications.
