22 Installing the NGFW Appliance

• Bracket screws for attaching the brackets to the chassis.

Your NGFW Appliance can be stored on a desktop, on a shelf, or in a rack. If you are bolting the

appliance to the rack, follow these guidelines.

WARNING! To prevent bodily injury when mounting or servicing this unit in a rack, you must take special

precautions to ensure that the system remains stable.

• If the rack comes with stabilizing devices, install the stabilizers before mounting or servicing the unit in

the rack.

• If the rack is partially filled, load the rack from the bottom to the top with the heaviest component at the

bottom of the rack.

• If you plan to expand your system to include additional TippingPoint systems in the future, allow space

in the rack for additions. During the initial installation, keep in mind the weight distribution and stability

of the rack.
