Rack Installation

The firewall can be mounted in an EIA standard

Please be aware of following safety Instructions
when installing:
A) Elevated Operating Ambient - If installed in a
closed or multi-unit rack assembly, the operating
ambient temperature of the rack environment
may be greater than room ambient. Therefore,
consideration should be given to installing the
equipment in an environment compatible with
the maximum ambient temperature (Tma)
specified by the manufacturer.
B) Reduced Air Flow - Installation of the
equipment in a rack should be such that the
amount of air flow required for safe operation of
the equipment is not compromised.
C) Mechanical Loading - Mounting of the
equipment in the rack should be such that a
hazardous condition is not achieved due to
uneven mechanical loading.
D) Circuit Overloading - Consideration should be
given to the connection of the equipment to the
supply circuit and the effect that overloading of
the circuits might have on overcurrent protection
and supply wiring. Appropriate consideration of
equipment nameplate ratings should be used
when addressing this concern.
E) Reliable Earthing - Reliable earthing of rack-
mounted equipment should be maintained.
Particular attention should be given to supply
connections other than direct connections to the
branch circuit (e.g. use of power strips)."
