Choosing a Location for the UTM

The UTM is suitable for use in an office environment where it can be free-standing (on its runner feet) or mounted into a standard 19-inch equipment rack. Alternatively, you can rack-mount the UTM in a wiring closet or equipment room. A rack mounting kit, containing two mounting brackets and four screws, is provided in the package for the dual-WAN port models.

Consider the following when deciding where to position the UTM:

•The unit is accessible and cables can be connected easily.

•Cabling is away from sources of electrical noise. These include lift shafts, microwave ovens, and air-conditioning units.

•Water or moisture cannot enter the case of the unit.

•Airflow around the unit and through the vents in the side of the case is not restricted. Provide a minimum of 25 mm or 1 inch clearance.

•The air is as free of dust as possible.
