Rack Mount the Firewall
The PA-800 Series firewall ships with two rack-mount brackets for an installation in a two-post or four-post 19" equipment
rack. If you install the firewall in a four-post rack, you can purchase an optional four-post kit to secure the firewall to the
back rack posts to provide additional support. Both procedures are covered in this section.
Install the Firewall in a Two-Post Equipment Rack
1. Attach one rack-mount bracket to each side of the firewall using four #6-32 x 5/16" screws for each bracket
torque to 9 in-lbs. For a two-post rack, we recommend that you install the brackets in the mid-mount position as shown in
Figure 1. For a four-post rack or cabinet, install the rack-mount brackets in the front-mount position as shown in
Ensure that the equipment rack is properly anchored so it can support the weight of the installed equipment.
2. With help from another person, hold the firewall in place in the rack and secure the rack-mount brackets to the rack using
two screws for each bracket (Figure 2). Use the appropriate screws (#10-32 x 3/4" or #12-24 x 1/2") for your rack and
torque to 25 in-lbs. Use cage nuts (not provided) to secure the screws if the rack has square holes.
