Hillstone Multi-core Security Appliance Installation Manual
 Make sure the intake and the exhaust vents are unblocked, and keep the
appliance well ventilated.
 Do not place any heavy object on the top of the chassis.
Installing the Appliance on a Rack
Before mounting the appliance on a rack, ensure that the power is off, and the rack
is stable enough and well grounded. Hillstone multi-core security appliances are
designed for a 19-inch standard rack.
To mount the chassis on a rack:
Step 1: Attach rack-mounting ears to the left and right side panels of the chassis
respectively, and then fasten the rack-mounting ears with suitable screws, as
shown in Figure 3-2.
Figure 3-2: Installing the Rack-mounting Ears (1U Chassis as example)
Step 2: Take out screws from the accessory box and fasten the rack-mounting ears
of the chassis in the rack with the screws. Keep the center of the rack-mounting ear
and the center of the rack hole horizontally even, as shown in Figure 3-3.

Cautions:
 The rack-mounting ears cannot bear weight. Make sure the chassis is
supported by the platform under it when mounted into a rack.
 For better ventilation, there should be a clearance space between two
equipments.
