S 1.40 Appropriate siting of protective cabinets

Initiation responsibility: IT Security Officer

Implementation responsibility: Internal Services

Due to the generally high weight of protective cabinets, the load-bearing capacity of the floor must be tested before installation at the place of installation.

Protective cabinets which could be carried off relatively easily due to their small size should be permanently fixed to the wall or the floor.

Any existing manufacturer's instructions on suitable installation (e.g. unobstructed ventilation openings, cable routing) should be taken into account.

Review questions:

• Has the load-bearing ability of the floor been checked prior to installation of the protective cabinets?
• In case of transportable protective cabinets: Are the protective cabinets fixed at the site of installation?
• Are protective cabinets installed in such a way that ventilation openings are unobstructed and cable routing is possible without excessive tension or bending?
