Rack Mounting for Check Point Appliances | 13
Removing the Appliance
Important - To prevent injury or damage, at least two people are required to install the
appliance in a rack.
Important - Do not attempt to lift, drag, or otherwise move the appliance using the
handles on the power supply units.
To remove the appliance from the rack:
1. Remove the rack mounting screws from the rack post mounting holes that attach the ear mounts to
the rack.
2. Pull the appliance away from the rack as far as possible.
The release strip on the telescopic rails stops the appliance from sliding too far.
3. On the appliance rails:
n
Press and hold the release strips to unlock the telescopic rails.
n
Pull out the appliance from the rack.
Appliance Air Vents
Make sure that the appliance air vents have sufficient airflow from front to rear when the appliance is
mounted in a rack.
Important - If the appliance vents are blocked, the appliance can become too hot and it
can be damaged.
The appliance and rack rails have been tested in extreme conditions and do not block air flow to the
appliance. These appliances are specifically designed to install with these rails. The QLS800 appliance is
shown below. The air flow is the same in the other appliances.
