Equipment Rack Mounting

The ISG 2000 comes with accessories for mounting the device in a standard 19-inch
equipment rack.
The location of the chassis, the layout of the equipment rack, and the security of
your wiring room are crucial for proper system operation. Use the following
guidelines while configuring your equipment rack.
Enclosed racks must have adequate ventilation. Such ventilation requires
louvered sides and a fan to provide cooling air.
When mounting a chassis in an open rack, be sure that the rack frame does not
block the intake or exhaust ports. If you install the chassis on slides, check the
position of the chassis when it is seated all the way into the rack.
In an enclosed rack with a ventilation fan in the top, equipment higher in the
rack can draw heat from the lower devices. Always provide adequate ventilation
for equipment at the bottom of the rack.
Baffles can isolate exhaust air from intake air. The best placement of the baffles
depends on the airflow patterns in the rack.
Rack mounting requires the following accessories and tools:
1 Phillips-head screwdriver (not provided)
4 screws to match the rack (if the thread size of the screws provided in the ISG
2000 product package do not fit the thread size of the rack)
The included rear slide mount kit (for the rear-and-front-mount method)

There are two ways to rack mount the ISG 2000:
Rear-and-front mount
Mid-mount
Juniper Networks recommends using the rear-and-front rack mount when the
equipment rack supports it. Do not attempt to front-mount the ISG 2000.
