Rack Installation

The firewall can be mounted in an EIA standard
size 11-inch rack, which can be placed in a wiring
closet with other equipment. To install, attach the
mounting brackets to the firewall's side panels (one
on each side) and secure them with the screws
provided (please note that these brackets are not
designed for palm size firewall).

rack to mount the firewall in the rack.

Please be aware of following safety Instructions
when installing:
A) Elevated Operating Ambient - If installed in a
closed or multi-unit rack assembly, the operating
ambient temperature of the rack environment may
be greater than room ambient. Therefore,
consideration should be given to installing the
equipment in an environment compatible with the
maximum ambient temperature (Tma) specified by
the manufacturer.
B) Reduced Air Flow - Installation of the equipment
in a rack should be such that the amount of air flow
required for safe operation of the equipment is not
compromised.
C) Mechanical Loading - Mounting of the
equipment in the rack should be such that a
hazardous condition is not achieved due to uneven
mechanical loading.
D) Circuit Overloading - Consideration should be
given to the connection of the equipment to the
supply circuit and the effect that overloading of the
circuits might have on overcurrent protection and
supply wiring. Appropriate consideration of
equipment nameplate ratings should be used when
addressing this concern.
E) Reliable Earthing - Reliable earthing of
rack-mounted equipment should be maintained.
Particular attention should be given to supply
connections other than direct connections to the
branch circuit (e.g. use of power strips)."
