About general recommendations for rack mounting
Although not required, a 1U space between units makes it easier for you to remove the unit from the rack
in the event that the unit requires service. A 1U space between units also provides additional cable routing
options.
Leaving at least 100 mm of space from the front panel of the unit to the rack front or rack door provides
enough room for you to route the cables without excessive bending or insulation damage.
A shelf or similar device is required to support the unit if only one person is installing the unit.
Caution: To prevent personal injury or damage to the unit, F5 Networks strongly recommends
that at least two people perform the installation.
Important: This product is sensitive to electrostatic discharge (ESD). F5 Networks recommends
that you use proper ESD grounding procedures and equipment when you install or maintain the
unit.
Unpacking the platform
The platform ships in a custom-designed package that protects the product during shipment. Due to the
weight of the platform, there is a specific procedure that you must follow to ensure that you remove the
platform from its packaging safely and securely.
Caution: To ensure your safety and to prevent damage to the platform, F5 Networks recommends
that at least two people remove the platform from the shipping box.
1. If you have not already done so, open the top of the shipping box.
2. Remove the rail kit and accessory boxes from the foam inserts.
