Description
1.
Start
Before installation, make sure all requirements on the checklist
are met and the firewall is powered off.
Mounting the firewall on a
workbench
Verify that the workbench is sturdy and reliably grounded.
Ensure a minimum clearance of 100 mm (3.94 in) around the air
inlet and outlet vents of the chassis.
Installing the firewall in a standard
19-inch rack
To avoid bodily injury and device damage, use a minimum of
two people to rack-mount the device.
4.
Before installation, make sure the firewall and rack are reliably
grounded and you wear an ESD wrist strap.
5.
Before you install a power supply, make sure the power supply
is not connected to any power source and the grounding cable
of the firewall is connected reliably.
6.
Installing an interface module
Install compatible interface modules on the firewall.
7.
Install compatible drives on the firewall.
8.
The firewall provides various ports. Choose compatible
transceiver modules and cables as required. To avoid bodily
injury or device damage, read the restrictions and guidelines
carefully before connection.
9.
Connect compatible power cords to the power supplies.
10.
Verify that the firewall is installed securely and reliably
grounded, and that the power supplies are as required.
Mounting the firewall on a workbench
IMPORTANT:
•
Ensure good ventilation and a minimum clearance of 100 mm (3.94 in) around the chassis for
heat dissipation.
•
Avoid placing heavy objects on the firewall.
•
To stack firewalls, make sure a minimum vertical distance of 15 mm (0.59 in) is available between
two adjacent firewalls.
