Rack mounting considerations

Prev Next

Trellix DLP Network hardware appliance and Trellix DLP Capture Array hardware must be rack mounted properly to ensure safe configuration.

Consider these points when installing the Trellix DLP Network hardware appliance and Trellix DLP Capture Array hardware in a rack.

  • Operating ambient temperature — If installed in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly, the operating ambient temperature of the rack environment might be greater than room ambient. Consider installing the equipment in an environment compatible with the maximum ambient temperature (MAT) specified by the manufacturer.

  • Air flow — When installing the equipment in a rack, do not restrict the supply of cool air to the appliance.

  • Mechanical loading — When mounting the equipment, make sure no hazardous conditions are created due to uneven mechanical loading.

  • Circuit loading — When connecting the equipment to the supply circuit, consider the effect that circuit overloading might have on overcurrent protection and supply wiring. Use appropriate consideration of equipment nameplate ratings when addressing this concern.

  • Grounding — Maintain reliable grounding of the rack-mounted equipment. Give particular attention to supply connections that are not directly connected to the branch circuit, such as power strips.
