Requirements For Mounting An Ex3200 Switch On A Desktop Or Wall; Table 35: Cabinet Requirements And Specifications - Juniper EX3200 Hardware Manual

Table 35: Cabinet Requirements and Specifications

Cabinet
Requirement Guidelines
Cabinet size You can mount the device in a cabinet that contains a 19-in. rack as defined by the Electronics
Industry Association.
The minimum cabinet size must be able to accommodate the maximum external dimensions of the
device.
Cabinet clearance The outer edges of the mounting brackets extend the width of the chassis to 19 in. (48.2 cm).
The minimum total clearance inside the cabinet is 30 in. (76.2 cm) between the inside of the front
door and the inside of the rear door.
Cabinet airflow When you mount the device in a cabinet, ensure that ventilation through the cabinet is sufficient to
requirements prevent overheating.
Ensure adequate cool air supply to dissipate the thermal output of the device or devices.
Ensure that the hot air exhaust of the chassis exits the cabinet without recirculating into the device.
An open cabinet (without a top or doors) that employs hot air exhaust extraction from the top
ensures the best airflow through the chassis. If the cabinet contains a top or doors, perforations in
these elements assist with removing the hot air exhaust.
Install the device in the cabinet in a way that maximizes the open space on the side of the chassis
that has the hot air exhaust.
Route and dress all cables to minimize the blockage of airflow to and from the chassis.
Ensure that the spacing of rails and adjacent cabinets is such that there is proper clearance around
the device and cabinet.
A cabinet larger than the minimum required provides better airflow and reduces the chance of
overheating.

You can install the switch on or under a desk or other level surface or on a wall. When
choosing a location, allow at least 6 in. (15.2 cm) of clearance between the front and
back of the chassis and adjacent equipment or walls.
Ensure that the wall onto which the switch is installed is stable and securely supported.
If you are mounting the switch in sheetrock (wall board with a gypsum plaster core) or
in wall board not backed by wall studs, use hollow wall anchors capable of supporting
the combined weight of two fully loaded chassis. Insert the screws into wall studs
wherever possible to provide added support for the chassis.
