Note: Use an 8-wire Ethernet cable to run your Gigabit Ethernet at 1000 Mbps. Using a 4-
wire Ethernet cable limits your connection to 100 Mbps. Note that the connection
speed also depends on what the Ethernet device at the other end can support.
3.2 Stopping the ZyWALL
Always use Maintenance > Shutdown > Shutdown or the
shutdown
command before you turn
off the ZyWALL or remove the power. Not doing so can cause the firmware to become corrupt.
3.3 Rack-mounting
See Chapter 1 on page 17 for the ZyWALL models that can be rack mounted. Use the following
steps to mount the ZyWALL on an EIA standard size, 19-inch rack or in a wiring closet with other
equipment using a rack-mounting kit. Make sure the rack will safely support the combined weight of
all the equipment it contains and that the position of the ZyWALL does not make the rack unstable
or top-heavy. Take all necessary precautions to anchor the rack securely before installing the unit.
Note: Leave 10 cm of clearance at the sides and 20 cm in the rear.
Use a #2 Phillips screwdriver to install the screws.
Note: Failure to use the proper screws may damage the unit.

screws (smaller than the rack-mounting screws).

After attaching both mounting brackets, position the ZyWALL in the rack and up the bracket holes
with the rack holes. Secure the ZyWALL to the rack with the rack-mounting screws.
