Juniper NFX150, Hardware Manual

•
For the cooling system to function properly, the airflow around the chassis must be
unrestricted. See
“Cooling System and Airflow in an NFX150 Device” on page 37 for
more information about the airflow through the chassis.
•
If you are mounting an NFX150 device in a rack or cabinet with other equipment, ensure
that the exhaust from other equipment does not blow into the intake vents of the
chassis.
• Leave at least 24 in. (61 cm) both in front of and behind the NFX150 device. For service
personnel to remove and install hardware components, you must leave adequate
space at the front and back of the NFX150. NEBS GR-63 recommends that you allow
at least 30 in. (76.2 cm) in front of the rack or cabinet and 24 in. (61 cm) behind the
rack or cabinet.

Requirements for Mounting an NFX150 Device on a Desktop or Other Level Surface
You can install NFX150 device on a desktop or other such level surface, by attaching the
four rubber feet (provided) to the bottom of the chassis.
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 desktop or other level surface on which the device is installed is stable
and securely supported.

Requirements for Mounting an NFX150 Device on a Wall
You can install the NFX150 device 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 device is installed is stable and securely supported.
If you are mounting the device 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.
Use the wall-mount kit from Juniper Networks to mount the device on a wall. The
wall-mount kit is not part of the standard package and must be ordered separately.
