Make sure there is sufficient space for air flow. Rack Precautions FireEye recommends that you mount the appliance in a standard 19-inch rack. The vertical hole spacing on the rack rails must meet standard ANSI/EIA-310-C requirements, which call for a one-inch (2.54-cm) spacing.
Ensure your rack meets the safety requirements of UL 60950-1. Server Precautions FireEye recommends reviewing the electrical and general safety precautions that came with each component you intend to install in the rack. Review the following before installing the appliance in the rack: Determine the placement of each component in the rack.
Give the unit at least six inches of space around ventilation openings so that adequate ventilation is possible. All PX Series appliances draw air through the front and expel it out the back. Note the direction of the air intake and exhaust of the other components in the rack to ensure safe ventilation of all components involved.
