Figure1-7 Mounting the firewall in the rack 

 

 

Mount the firewall on a wall 

1. 

Unpack the firewall and accessories. 

2. 

Mark two installation holes spaced 102 mm (4.02 in) apart on the wall. 

3. 

Drill holes with a diameter of 6 mm (0.24 in) and a depth of 22 mm (0.87 in) at the marked 
locations. 

4. 

Hammer a screw anchor into each hole and drive a screw into each screw anchor, leaving 1.5 
mm (0.06 in) of the screw exposed to hang the firewall on. 

Make sure the screw anchors and screws are secured in place. 

5. 

Hold the firewall with its front panel facing downwards, align the installation holes on the firewall 
with the screws on the wall, and set the holes over the screws. 

6. 

Verify that the firewall is securely mounted on the wall. Do not let go of your hands from the 
firewall until you are sure of the secure mounting of the firewall. 

7. 

Connect the firewall to the grounding facility of the building.
