Mounting the SonicWALL CDP 5040
The SonicWALL CDP appliance is designed to be mounted in a
standard 19-inch rack mount cabinet. The following conditions
are required for proper installation:
• Use the mounting hardware recommended by the rack
manufacturer and ensure that the rack is adequate for the
application.
• Four mounting screws, compatible with the rack design,
must be used and hand tightened to ensure secure
installation. Choose a mounting location where all four
mounting holes line up with those of the mounting bars of
the 19-inch rack mount cabinet.
• Mount in a location away from direct sunlight and sources
of heat. A maximum ambient temperature of 104º F (40º C)
is recommended.
• Route cables away from power lines, fluorescent lighting
fixtures, and sources of noise such as radios, transmitters,
and broadband amplifiers.
• The included power cord is intended for use in North
America only. For European Union (EU) customers, a
power cord is not included.
• Ensure that no water or excessive moisture can enter the
unit.
• Allow unrestricted airflow around the unit and through the
vents on the side of the unit. A minimum of 1 inch
(25.44mm) clearance is recommended.
• 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
recommended ambient temperature shown above.
• Mount the SonicWALL appliances evenly in the rack in
order to prevent a hazardous condition caused by uneven
mechanical loading.
• Consideration must be given to the connection of the
equipment to the supply circuit and the effect that
overloading of circuits might have on overcorrect protection
and supply wiring. Appropriate consideration of equipment
nameplate ratings must be used when addressing this
concern.
• Reliable grounding of rack-mounted equipment must be
maintained. Particular attention must be given to power
supply connections other than direct connections to the
branch circuits, such as power strips.
• The power cord must be removed to disconnect power.
