• Allow hot-swappable power supply units, disk drives, and transceivers to cool before
handling them.
• Use a regulating uninterruptible power supply to protect your components from
voltage spikes, power surges, and failure during a power outage.
• Keep all of the rack's doors and panels closed when you are not servicing the
components.
Rack-Mounting Precautions
Consider the following safety precautions when you install the appliance in the rack:
• Make sure the appliance is grounded at all times to prevent damage from
electrostatic discharge.
• Use an electrostatic wrist guard when handling the appliance.
• At least two technicians should be involved to install the appliance safely.
• FireEye recommends only individuals with rack-mounting experience should install
the appliance.
• Install the appliance in an environment compatible with the manufacturer's
maximum recommended ambient temperature (TMRA) for each component in your
rack.
Power Requirements
The EX uses a 920 W power supply unit with an input rating of 100-240 VAC (±10%), 11-4.4
A at 50-60 Hz.
Ensure your power source has sufficient electrical overload protection. In North America,
connect the rack to a power source with over-current protection that complies with UL 489. In
Europe, the over-current protection must comply with IEC standards.
Ventilation Requirements
Ventilation and optimal location are essential to the proper operation of the EX Series
appliance. Give the unit at least six inches of space around ventilation openings so that
adequate ventilation is possible.
The EX Series appliance draws air through the front and expels it out the back. Note the
direction of the air intake and exhaust of the other components in the rack to ensure safe
ventilation of all components involved.
