The ZyWALL can be mounted on an EIA standard size, 19-inch rack or in a wiring 
closet with other equipment. Follow the steps below to mount your ZyWALL on a 
standard EIA rack using a rack-mounting kit. Make sure the rack will safely 
support the combined weight of all the equipment it contains and that the position 
of the ZyWALL does not make the rack unstable or top-heavy. Take all necessary 
precautions to anchor the rack securely before installing the unit.

Note: Leave 10 cm of clearance at the sides and 20 cm in the rear. 

Use a #2 Phillips screwdriver to install the screws.

Note: Failure to use the proper screws may damage the unit.
