The FortiSandbox unit can be placed on a

 using the provided rubber feet, or 

mounted in any standard 

19 inch rack

 unit with the provided mounting rails.

"Cautions and Warnings" on page <?>

 prior to installing your device.

Caution:

 The rack must be 

stabilized

 before sliding the unit out for servicing. 

Failure to stabilize may cause the rack to 

tip over

.

Electrostatic discharge

 (ESD) can damage your Fortinet equipment. 

To avoid personal 

injury

 or 

damage

 to the unit, it is recommended that 

two or more

people install the unit into the rack.

Do not place 

heavy objects

 on the unit.

Rack Precautions

•  Ensure the 

leveling jacks

 on the bottom of the rack are 

fully extended

 to the floor with 

the full weight of the rack resting on the jacks.

•  For single rack installation, 

stabilizers

 should be attached to the rack.

•  For multiple rack installations, the racks should be 

coupled together

.

•  Ensure the rack is 

stable

 before extending a component from the rack.

•  Only extend 

one component

 at a time; extending 

two or more

 simultaneously may 

cause the rack to become 

unstable

.
