# Rack-Mounting Precautions

Consider the following safety precautions when you install the appliance in the rack:

- Make sure the appliance is grounded at all times to prevent damage from electrostatic discharge.
- Use an electrostatic wrist guard when handling the appliance.
- At least two technicians should be involved to install the appliance safely.
- Trellix recommends only individuals with rack-mounting experience should install the appliance.
- Install the appliance in an environment compatible with the manufacturer's maximum recommended ambient temperature (TMRA) for each component in your rack.
