Mounting the Appliance into an Equipment Rack
The following instructions will describe how to mount the FireStorm ONE into a standard 19-inch
equipment rack; if you require additional information for any other type of rack, you should refer to
your rack vendor’s documentation.
A rack unit (RU) is an industry-standard measurement for rack-mountable equipment. Each rack
unit is equal to 1.75 inches and is comprised of three mounting holes. If you look at the rack’s
mounting rails, you will notice small markers that indicate each rack unit. For the FireStorm ONE
appliance, you will need 1 RU of rackspace.
Typically, you will need to count mounting holes upward, from the first mounting hole in the range
of rack units needed to install the appliance.
Note:
To avoid injury or damaging the appliance, BreakingPoint recommends using three people
to mount the appliance.
Guidelines to Keep in Mind
Before you mount the appliance to the equipment rack, please make sure that the operating
environment meets the criteria listed in the
Site and Safety Regulations section.
Generally, this includes:
• Mounting the appliance in an area where air can properly circulate (at least 3 inches of clearance
around all ventilation openings)
• Ensuring that the appliance has at least 3 feet of clearance in the rear so you can easily access the
system’s power switch and inlet
• Engaging the rack’s stabilizers to keep it stable before mounting the appliance to the rack
• Placing the appliance in a dry and dust-free area
• Loading the equipment rack from the bottom up
• Ensuring that the operating environment is 15°C to 40°C (59°F to 104°F)
