Safety and Regulatory Reference Guide
2Use the mounting hardware recommended by the rack manufacturer and ensure that the rack is
adequate for the application.
3Mount the SonicWall appliances evenly in the rack in order to prevent a hazardous condition caused by
uneven mechanical loading.
4Four mounting screws, compatible with the rack design, must be used and hand-tightened to ensure
secure installation. Choose a mounting location where all four mounting holes line up with those of the
mounting bars of the 19-inch rack mount cabinet.

transmitters, and broadband amplifiers.
8Mount in a location away from direct sunlight and sources of heat. A maximum ambient temperature of
104º F (40º C) is recommended.
9If installed in a closed or multi-rack assembly, the operating ambient temperature of the rack
environment may be greater than the room ambient. Therefore, consideration should be given to
installing the equipment in an environment compatible with the maximum recommended ambient
temperature.
10 A suitably rated and approved branch circuit breaker shall be provided as part of the building
