Cooling

The F5000-A5 firewalls adopt left to right airflow for heat dissipation. Plan the installation site for
adequate ventilation.

Leave at least 10 cm (3.94 in) of clearance at the inlet and outlet air vents.

The installation site has a good cooling system.

ESD prevention

CAUTION:

Check the resistance of the ESD wrist strap for safety. The resistance reading should be in the range of
1 to 10 megohm (Mohm) between human body and the ground.

The F5000-A5 does not provide any ESD wrist strap. Prepare it yourself.

To prevent electrostatic discharge (ESD), follow these guidelines:

Make sure the firewall and rack are correctly grounded.

An anti-static floor is installed and correctly grounded.

Maintain the humidity and temperature at a compliant range in the equipment room. For more
information, see "

Always wear an ESD wrist strap and ESD cloth when touching a circuit board, interface module, or
transceiver module.
