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:
1 Make sure the ZyWALL is off.
2 Install the hardware first.
3 See 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
1 Make sure the ZyWALL is clean and dry.
2 Set 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.
3 Make sure there is enough clearance around the ZyWALL to allow air circulation and the
attachment of cables and the power cord or power adaptor.
4 Remove the adhesive backing from the rubber feet.
5 Attach 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.
