ZyWALL 5/35/70 Series User’s Guide

Appendix B Hardware Installation

672

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

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.

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.
