Rack Precautions
FireEye recommends that you mount the appliance in a standard 19-inch rack. The vertical
hole spacing on the rack rails must meet standard ANSI/EIA-310-C requirements.
Consider the following before installing your appliance in the rack:
• Ensure the leveling jacks on the bottom of the rack are fully extended to the floor
with the full weight of the rack resting on them.
• In a single-rack installation, stabilizers should be attached to the rack.
• In a multiple-rack installation, the racks should be coupled together to increase their
stability.
• Always make sure the rack is stable before extending a component from the rack.
• Only extend one component from the rack at a time—extending two or more
simultaneously may cause the rack to become unstable.
• Ensure your rack meets the safety requirements of UL 60950-1.
WARNING
STABILITY HAZARD:
The rack may tip over causing serious personal
injury. To prevent injury:
• Before extending the rack to the installation position, read the
installation instructions.
• Do not put any load on the slide-rail mounted equipment when the
rails are extended.
• Do not leave the slide-rail mounted equipment with the rails
extended.
Server Precautions
FireEye recommends reviewing the electrical and general safety precautions that came with
each component you intend to install in the rack.
Review the following before installing the appliance in the rack:
• Determine the placement of each component in the rack.
• Ensure there is a minimum clearance of six inches behind the chassis to allow for
easy cable management.
• Install the heaviest component at the bottom of the rack first, then move up.
