Rack Mount Instructions

Each WatchGuard XTM 1500 Series device is shipped with a rack mount kit. When you install the device in a
rack, make sure you consider:
Elevated Operating Ambient Temperature
If you install the device in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly, the operating ambient temperature
of the rack environment may be greater than room ambient. Make sure the ambient temperature of
the rack environment is within the certified operating range specified in this Hardware Guide.
Reduced Air Flow
When you install the XTM 1500 Seriesdevice 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 1500 Series device in the rack, avoid hazardous conditions caused by
uneven mechanical loading.
Circuit Overloading
Make sure you connect the XTM 1500 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.
