Connecting the SRX3400 Services Gateway to the Building Structure
Always secure the rack to the structure of the building. If your geographical area is subject
to earthquakes, bolt the rack to the floor. For maximum stability, also secure the rack to
ceiling brackets.

Clearance Requirements for Airflow and Hardware Maintenance of the SRX3400
Services Gateway
When planning the installation site, you need to allow sufficient clearance around the
rack (see
Figure 21 on page 43 ):
•
For the cooling system to function properly, the airflow around the chassis must be
unrestricted. Allow at least 6 in. (15.2 cm) of clearance between services gateways.
Allow 5 in. (13 cm) between the side of the chassis and any non-heat-producing surface
such as a wall.
•
For service personnel to remove and install hardware components, there must be
adequate space at the front and back of the services gateway. At least 24 in. (61 cm)
is required both in front of and behind the services gateway. NEBS GR-63 recommends
that you allow at least 30 in. (76 cm) in front of the rack and 24 in. (61 cm) behind the
rack.
