Rack Mounting the SonicWALL Email Security 8000 Appliance
The above SonicWALL appliances are designed to be mounted in a standard 19-inch
rack mount cabinet. The following conditions are required for proper installation:
• Use the mounting hardware recommended by the rack manufacturer and ensure
that the rack is adequate for the application.
• 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.
• Mount in a location away from direct sunlight and sources of heat. A maximum
ambient temperature of 104º F (40º C) is recommended.
• Route cables away from power lines, fluorescent lighting fixtures, and sources of
noise such as radios, transmitters and broadband amplifiers.
• The included power cord is intended for use in North America only. For European
Union (EU) customers, a power cord is not included.
• 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.
• Mount the SonicWALL appliances evenly in the rack in order to prevent a hazardous
condition caused by uneven mechanical loading.
• Consideration must be given to the connection of the equipment to the supply circuit
and the effect of overloading the circuits has minimal impact on overcurrent
protection and supply wiring. Appropriate consideration of equipment nameplate
ratings must be used when addressing this concern.
• 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.
