Safety Instructions

The following conditions are required for proper installation:
• The SonicWall appliance is designed to be mounted in a
standard 19-inch rack mount cabinet.
• Use the mounting hardware recommended by the rack
manufacturer and ensure that the rack is adequate for
the appliance.
• Ensure that no water or excessive moisture can enter
the unit.
• Allow unrestricted airflow around the unit and through
the vents on the side of the unit. A minimum of 1 inch
(25.44mm) clearance is recommended.
• Route cables away from power lines, fluorescent
lighting fixtures, and sources of noise such as radios,
transmitters, and broadband amplifiers.
• Mount in a location away from direct sunlight and
sources of heat. A maximum ambient temperature of
104º F (40º C) is recommended.
• If installed in a closed or multi-rack assembly, the
operating ambient temperature of the rack
environment may be greater than the room ambient.
Therefore, consideration should be given to installing

the equipment in an environment compatible with the
maximum recommended ambient temperature.
• Mount the SonicWall appliance evenly in the rack in
order to prevent a hazardous condition caused by
uneven mechanical loading.
• Four mounting screws, compatible with the rack design,
must be used and hand-tightened to ensure secure
installation. Choose a mounting location where all four
mounting holes line up with those of the mounting bars
of the 19-inch rack mount cabinet.
• A suitably rated and approved branch circuit breaker
shall be provided as part of the building installation.
Follow local code when purchasing materials or
components.
• Consideration must be given to the connection of the
equipment to the supply circuit. Appropriate
consideration of equipment nameplate ratings must be
used when addressing this concern. Do not overload
the circuit.
• Reliable grounding of rack-mounted equipment must
be maintained. Particular attention must be given to
power supply connections other than direct
connections to the branch circuits, such as power strips.
