Mechanical Installation
The UFM-SDN Appliance can be rack mounted and is designed for installation in a standard 19”
rack. The power (rear) side of the appliance includes two hot-swap power supply modules.
The UFM-SDN Appliance accepts input voltages of 100-127 VAC and 200-240 VAC for all pos-
sible PS units.
The installer should use a rack capable of supporting the mechanical and environmental charac-
teristics of a fully populated rack.

1. Place the ESD mat on the floor where you will be working and put on the ESD strap. Make
sure the ESD strap is touching your skin and that the other end is connected to a verified
ground.
2. Install the two rails into the rack. Make sure they are at the same level. Make sure they have
the correct side to the top. The blue pins go into the rack holes.

The rack mounting holes conform to the EIA-310 standard for 19-inch racks. Take pre-
cautions to guarantee proper ventilation in order to maintain good airflow at ambient
temperature. Cable routing in particular should not impede the air exhaust from the
chassis.
