Astaro Security Gateway 625 

Operating Instructions

Important Note:

 Make sure you use the screws supplied with the rack-mount 

brackets. Using the wrong screws could damage the hardware appliance and 
would invalidate your warranty.

1. Attach the rack-mount brackets to the appliance

1.1  Place the appliance on a hard flat surface with the front panel facing you.

1.2  Attach the rack-mount brackets to the left and right side of the appliance 

with the supplied screws.

1.3  Make sure the brackets are properly attached to the appliance.

Important note:

 The rails for Astaro Security Gateway 625 will fit a rack of 

600 mm/23.6” deep.

2. Choose the rack location

Leave enough clearance in front of the rack to enable you to open the front 
door completely (~60 cm/25 inches).

Leave approximately 80 cm/30 inches of clearance in the back of the rack to 
allow for sufficient airflow and ease in servicing.

This product is for installation only in a restricted access location (dedicated 
equipment rooms, service closets and the like).

3. Install the rails to the rack

3.1  Telescope the inner and the outer rail.

3.2  Secure the inner rail at the back side of the rack with the fastenings.

washer and three M5 rack screws.

3.6  Secure the inner rail at the back of the rack with a M5 screw.

3.7  Repeat these steps for the other rail kit.
