General Requirements for Racks
The 21000 Appliances are designed for a standard 19-inch (48.26 cm) rack (see
specification EIA-310-D). Use the telescoping rails with racks that have these
specifications:
Minimum depth: 26 in (66 cm)
Maximum depth: 35 in (88.9 cm)
Front and rear rack doors must have equally distributed holes on at least 65% of the
surface area to give sufficient airflow. Make sure that the racks have sufficient clearance
to service the Check Point appliances that are mounted on telescoping rails.
Rack Side
Clearance Requirement
Front
36 in (91.44 cm) plus additional clearance, if needed, for the
mechanical lift used to move Check Point rails equipment.
Rear
16 in (40.64 cm) from the rear side of the rack or chassis, whichever
is closest to the rear. (Without back door cabinet)
22 in (55.88 cm) from the rear side of the rack or chassis, whichever
is closest to the rear. (With back door cabinet)
Sides
N/A (no accessible parts)
The telescoping rails can be used with racks that have round holes or square holes.

the rack rail.
2. Set the appliance rail on the side of the appliance.
Make sure that the arrow-latch faces the front of the appliance.

To attach the rack rails to the rack:
1. Put the front flange of the rack rail on the front face of the rack post.
2. For square hole racks and round holes that are larger than the large round-head
screws, place the screw plate behind the rack post at the same location as the front
flange.
Make sure that you align the bottom hole of the front screw plate with the bottom
hold of the front flange of the rack rail.
3. Use two screws to attach the front flange to the front screw plate.
Do not use a screw on the center hole of the front rail flange.
4. Do steps 1 - 3 again to attach the rear flange and rear screw plate to the rear of the
rack.
5. Do steps 1 - 4 again for the other rack rail.
Note - For rack posts with threaded holes, do not use the screw plates. Screw
the rail flanges directly to the threaded rack posts.
Installing the Appliance
Install the appliance in the telescoping rails in the rack.
Important - A 2U appliance is heavy and two people are required to hold and
install the appliance in the rack to prevent personal injury and damage to the
appliance.
You must disengage both the front and rear rail locks when installing the appliance.
We recommend that you secure the ear brackets of the appliance to the rack after you
move the appliance into the rack.
To install the appliance in the rack:
1. Set the appliance until the appliance rails are level with the rack rails.
2. Move the appliance into the rack until the telescoping rails click.
The telescoping rails are locked.
