NOTE:

Equipment Rack Installation Guidelines

Although you can place the NetScreen-5000 Series on a desktop for operation, we

do not recommend deploying it in this manner.

To prevent abuse and intrusion by unauthorized personnel, it is extremely

important to install the security device in a locked-room environment.

The location of the chassis and the layout of your equipment rack or wiring room

are crucial for proper system operation.

Use the following guidelines while configuring your equipment rack:

Enclosed racks must have adequate ventilation. An enclosed rack should have

louvered sides and a fan to provide cooling air.

When mounting a chassis in an open rack, ensure that the rack frame does not

block the intake or exhaust ports. If you install the chassis on slides, then 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.

You can mount the device in a standard 19-inch equipment rack. Rack mounting

requires the following tools:

Phillips screwdriver

Rack-compatible screws

The included rear slide kit (for the front-and-rear mount method) on the

NetScreen-5200

Front-mount brackets

There are two ways to rack-mount the NetScreen-5200:

Front-and-rear mount (recommended)

Center-mount

You can only front-mount the NetScreen-5400.
