AP PE N D I X B

Hardware Installation

The ZyWALL can be placed on a desktop or rack-mounted on a standard EIA rack. Use the brackets in a rack-mounted installation.

General Installation Instructions

Read all the safety warnings in the beginning of this User's Guide before you begin and make sure you follow them.

Perform the installation as follows:

1Make sure the ZyWALL is off.

2Install the hardware first.

3See the Quick Start Guide for instructions on making power and panel connections and turning on the ZyWALL.

Note: For proper ventilation, allow at least 4 inches (10 cm) of clearance at the front

and two sides and 3.4 inches (8 cm) at the back of the ZyWALL. This is especially important for enclosed rack installations.

Desktop Installation

1Make sure the ZyWALL is clean and dry.

2Set the ZyWALL on a smooth, level surface strong enough to support the weight of the ZyWALL and the connected cables. Make sure there is a power outlet nearby.

3Make sure there is enough clearance around the ZyWALL to allow air circulation and the attachment of cables and the power cord or power adaptor.

4Remove the adhesive backing from the rubber feet.

5Attach the rubber feet to each corner on the bottom of the ZyWALL. These rubber feet help protect the ZyWALL from shock or vibration and ensure space between devices when stacking.
