When planning the installation site for the SRX240 Services Gateway, you need to allow
sufficient clearance around the rack.
When planning the installation site for the services gateway, consider the following:
For the cooling system to function properly, the airflow around the chassis must be
unrestricted.
For service personnel to remove and install hardware components, there must be
adequate space at the front and back of the device.
For the DC power supply model, ensure that you follow the NEBS recommendation—The
NEBS GR-63 recommends that you allow at least 30 in. (72.6 cm) in front of the rack
and 24 in. (61.0 cm) behind the rack.
If you are mounting the device in a rack with other equipment, or if you are placing it
on the desktop near other equipment, ensure that the exhaust from other equipment
does not blow into the intake vents of the chassis.
Table 18 on page 34 provides information on the clearance requirements for maintaining
the optimum airflow and the distances for facilitating easy maintenance of the device.
