ProSecure Unified Threat Management UTM10 or UTM25 Reference Manual
1-14 Introduction
v1.0, September 2009
Choosing a Location for the UTM
The UTM is suitable for use in an office environment where it can be free-standing (on its runner
feet) or mounted into a standard 19-inch equipment rack. Alternatively, you can rack-mount the
UTM in a wiring closet or equipment room. A rack mounting kit, containing two mounting
brackets and four screws, is provided in the UTM25 package.
Consider the following when deciding where to position the UTM:
• The unit is accessible and cables can be connected easily.
• Cabling is away from sources of electrical noise. These include lift shafts, microwave ovens,
and air-conditioning units.
• Water or moisture cannot enter the case of the unit.
• Airflow around the unit and through the vents in the side of the case is not restricted. Provide a
minimum of 25 mm or 1 inch clearance.
• The air is as free of dust as possible.
• Temperature operating limits are not likely to be exceeded. Install the unit in a clean, air-
conditioned environment. For information about the recommended operating temperatures for
the UTM, see Appendix A, “Default Settings and Technical Specifications.”
Using the Rack-Mounting Kit
Use the mounting kit for the UTM to install the appliance in a rack. (A mounting kit is provided in
the product package for the UTM25). Attach the mounting brackets using the hardware that is
supplied with the mounting kit.
Before mounting the UTM in a rack, verify that:
• You have the correct screws (supplied with the installation kit).
• The rack onto which you will mount the UTM is suitably located.
