Rack Mount Instructions

Each WatchGuard XTM 3 Series device ships with a rack mount kit. When you install the XTM 3 Series device
in a rack, make sure you consider:
Elevated Operating Ambient Temperature
If you install the XTM 3 Series device in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly, the operating ambient
temperature of the rack environment could be greater than the ambient temperature of the room.
The XTM 3 Series device is certified to operate correctly between 0 – 40°C (32 – 104°F).
Reduced Air Flow
When you install the XTM 3 Series device in a rack, make sure that the amount of air flow required for
safe operation of the equipment is not compromised.
Mechanical Loading
When you mount the XTM 3 Series device in the rack, avoid hazardous conditions caused by uneven
mechanical loading.
Circuit Overloading
Make sure you connect the XTM 3 Series device to the power supply circuit to make sure there is no
overloading of the circuits, and no impact on overcurrent protection and supply wiring.
Reliable Grounding
Make sure all rack-mounted equipment is correctly grounded. For example, use power strips instead
of direct connections to the branch circuit.
