Selecting a Location for the Appliance

Jul 15, 2013

When selecting where to put the NetScaler Gateway appliance, consider the following:

Leave enough clearance in front of the rack so that you can access the LCD and various ports on the front panel of the
appliance.
Leave approximately 30 inches of clearance in the back of the rack to allow for sufficient airflow and easy servicing.
Install the NetScaler Gateway appliance in a restricted area, such as a dedicated lab or service closet.
Ground the rack to ensure that a reliable ground is maintained at all times.
Leave enough clearance in front of the rack to enable you to open the front bezel completely.
